5 Killer Chest and Back Workout For Huge Gain

Exercise #5

Wide Grip Pull-Ups

Wide Grip Pull-ups might seem to you as an appropriate arms workout but a great deal of work is placed on the upper back to lift the weight of the body and lower it under control. This exercise is a true measure of strength and is challenging as you are lifting your full body weight.

Instructions

Step 1: Start by hanging yourself from a pull-up bar with your hands just shoulder width apart. Palms should be facing away from your body. Allow your arms to extend fully.

Step 2: Now, keeping your shoulders down and away from your ears pull yourself up until your chin is over the bar.

Step 3: Pause for 1-2 seconds and then go back to the starting position by extending your elbows.

Important Tips: Do 4 sets of 12-15 reps each. Remember to keep your chest up as this will effectively put pressure on your back while performing the exercise.
