Exercise Profile

Rig Pull Up Side To Side Overview

The rig pull up side to side workout is designed to primarily target the lats, the large muscles in the back.

Using the rig, this exercise involves pulling yourself up to one side, alternating between left and right, for an effective lat workout.

While other muscles are engaged, such as the biceps and shoulders, the focus remains on the lats for maximum benefit.

  2. Extend your arms and grab the bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. Hang from the bar, keeping your body straight and core engaged.
  4. Pull yourself up towards the right side of the bar, bending your right elbow and bringing it towards your right hip.
  5. Lower yourself back down to the starting position.
  6. Repeat the movement, this time pulling yourself up towards the left side of the bar.

Rig Pull Up Side To Side Tips

  1. Start with a shoulder-width grip on the pull-up bar, palms facing away from you.
  2. Engage your lats by pulling your shoulder blades down and back before initiating the pull.
  3. As you pull yourself up, focus on driving your elbows towards the ground to activate the lats even more.
  4. Avoid swinging or using momentum; control the movement to fully engage your lats throughout the exercise.
  5. Lower yourself down in a controlled manner, maintaining tension in your lats throughout the descent.
  6. Gradually increase the number of repetitions as your strength improves, aiming for proper form and full engagement of the lats.
