PRACTICING
PULL-UP/CHIN-UP EXERCISES
The ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar is optimally designed with 12 cushioned foam
grips for workout diversity to maximize the benets. Pull-ups and chin-ups will greatly
improve your performance in any sport that requires upper body strength.
A good warm up reduces the chances of injury and enhances performance. Warm up
for 15 minutes before using the Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar with light cardio and dynamic
stretches to prepare muscles for working out.
Those new to pull-ups may nd these exercises challenging at rst, but don't worry!
Simply stand on a stool or chair, and your legs will get the assistance needed to per-
form pull-ups. Very soon you will be able to do a pull-up without support. Each time
you work out; do as many repetitions as you can. With practice, the Multi-Grip Pull-Up
Bar produces exceptional upper body conditioning results.
Do as many pull-ups as you can until muscle failure. Complete four sets of repetitions
and chart your progress. When you can do 12 standard pull-ups, begin the endur-
ance practice described below. When you can do 15 standard pull-ups, increase
your resistance. There are two ways to increase resistance:
1. Add small ankle or waist weights (5 to 10 lbs.) 2. Try one arm assisted pull-ups.
Improve endurance by slowing the speed of the pull-up. This type of training takes
willpower, but pays off. Here are 2 ways to work on endurance training:
1. Do pull-ups in sets of four, coming down in between sets and allowing your heart
rate to recover to 40% of maximum before the next set.
2. Do one slow pull-up and hang on the Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar for 5 seconds (2 deep
breaths). Drop and shake each arm, then both before performing the second pull-up.
Continue the sequence and establish a smooth rhythm.
