Function Description:
The PULL UP BAR 900 serves two main functions:
- Upper-body muscle development: It allows users to perform pull-ups, which engage a wide range of muscles in the dorsal plane, including the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius, as well as the biceps and shoulder muscles. The intensity of the exercise is directly related to the user's body weight.
- Stretching: By hanging from the bar, users can stretch their back and lower-back muscles, which can help alleviate lower back pain and improve flexibility in the latissimus dorsi.
Usage Features:
The device offers different grip options for varied exercises:
- Wide Grip Pull-ups (Drawing 1): With a wide grip, the user raises their chin or the nape of their neck to the bar, controlling the descent without jerking. This exercise primarily develops the width of the back muscles.
- Narrow Grip Pull-ups (Drawing 2): With a narrow grip, the user raises their chin to the bar, controlling the descent without jerking. This exercise focuses on developing the depth (thickness) of the back muscles.
- Back Stretching: For stretching, users should grip the bar with a wide grip, bend their legs, and slowly raise their knees towards their chest. This position should be held for several seconds before straightening the legs. Alternatively, with a wide grip and straight body, users can keep their legs tense to stretch the latissimus dorsi. It is crucial not to arch the lower back during this stretch.
