Wide-Grip Pullup

The wide-grip pullup is an advanced bodyweight exercise that improves strength in the back, shoulders, and biceps. The wide-grip position emphasizes the back by reducing resistance on the biceps and forearms.

Instructions

  1. 325_A
    Grab a pullup bar with your palms facing away from your body, and your hands shoulder-width apart. Allow your arms to hang in a fully extended position.
  2. Wide-Grip Pullup
    Keeping your shoulders down and away from your ears, pull yourself up until your chin clears the bar. Pause, then slowly lower yourself to the starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Keep your chest up and shoulders back.
  • Drive your elbows behind you to prevent pulling through your wrists.
