14 Pull-up Variations To Make You Feel Like Wonder Woman
By admin
I can’t believe it. This is the final week of my pull-up training plan.
It’s actually my final week for a lot…
- Final week of pull-up training.
- Final week of push-up training.
- Final week of boot wearing.
What’s a girl to do? Celebrate by doing as many different types of pull-ups as possible.
Duh. And if you look closely, you can see my very skinny calf on the right.
Last week I shared how to train yourself to perform a single pull-up. I also explained the benefits and the muscles worked. So this post is not about that.
Instead…
Let’s take it up a notch. Let’s cover some fun variations that will have you feeling like a super hero.
Increase Reps With Different Pull-ups Variations
Of course you look awesome doing these, but they serve a bigger cause.
Doing different pull-ups can help speed up your strength and pull-up potential.
Each of these targets the arms and back different. When you think you’re unable to do one more rep, try changing to a different version. The tired muscles might get a rest, and those under worked can get the burn they need.
This helps create balance and increased strength.
Oh, and it’s fun. No one likes repeating the same move over and over again. Change is the spice of life and exercise!
Only For Women?
Of course these moves are not exclusive for women. But I’ve learned that I am in a position to show women what they’re capable of.
Everyone is capable of doing these. Every single one. It might take work and it might not happen today. But the payoff is huge.
So what do you say, let’s get to it.
