Rig Pull Up Neutral Grip Hold Tips

  1. Start by positioning yourself under the rig, gripping the neutral handles with your palms facing each other. Keep your arms fully extended and your shoulders relaxed, allowing your lats to fully engage.
  2. Imagine pulling your shoulder blades down and back, as if you are trying to squeeze a pencil between them. This will help activate your lats and create a solid foundation for the exercise.
  3. As you begin the pull up, focus on driving your elbows down towards your hips. This will ensure that your lats are doing the majority of the work, rather than relying on your biceps or shoulders.
  4. Throughout the movement, keep your core tight and your body in a straight line. Avoid swinging or using momentum to complete the exercise. This will help you maintain proper form and maximize the engagement of your lats.
  5. Remember to breathe! Inhale as you lower yourself down and exhale as you pull yourself up. This will provide you with the necessary oxygen and energy to perform the exercise effectively.
