Description:

A Pull Up Hold is a fundamental exercise that develops upper body strength and endurance.  The ability to maintain a solid pull up hold position is a prerequisite for anybody wanting to progress into other complex upper body-specific skills and movements.  For best results, focus on maintaining a tight body during the entire exercise.

Process:

• begin in a hang on a bar and engage core
• bend elbows to lift body up until chin is in line with the bar
• hold for time
• maintain good posture while lowering down and avoid jerking the shoulders at the very end
