Pulling movements are great for improving the lower trapezius muscle group, and the pull-up is one of the best lower trap exercises that you could perform with only your bodyweight. In addition, the pull-up is great for toning the lower back as well.

Instructions

Step 1: Grab the pull-up bar with both the hands. The palms should be facing away from the body, and the distance between the arms should be just wider than the width of the shoulder. Ensure that the arms are fully extended in the starting position.

Step 2: Pull yourself upwards until the chin is just above the bar. Keep in mind that the upper torso should be stationary throughout the entire duration of the exercise.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Perform the pull-up with a weighted vest for added resistance and improved customizability.
