Squat And Pull Up Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
  2. Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
  3. Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
  4. Drive through your heels and push your body back up to the starting position.
  5. Hang from a pull-up bar with your palms facing away from you, hands shoulder-width apart.
  6. Pull your body up by bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together.

Squat And Pull Up Tips

  1. Start with bodyweight squats to engage the quads. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, chest up, and lower down until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
  2. Focus on proper form during pull-ups to target the lats. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width, engage your core, and pull your body up until your chin is above the bar.
  3. Gradually increase the difficulty by adding weight or using resistance bands for squats. This will challenge your quads and help build strength.
  4. To improve pull-up form, practice negative pull-ups. Jump up to the top position and slowly lower yourself down, focusing on engaging your lats throughout the movement.
  5. Ensure proper breathing during both exercises. Inhale as you lower down for squats and exhale as you push up. For pull-ups, exhale as you pull your body up and inhale as you lower down.
  6. Consistency is key. Aim for at least 2-3 sessions per week to see progress in your form and strength. Remember to listen to your body and rest when needed.
