Dip-Cage Hammer-Grip Pull-Up

Hammer Grip Pull Up on Dip Cage

1. Starting Position:

• Stand below the dip cage or pull-up bar.

• Reach up and grasp the handles with a hammer grip (palms facing each other).

• Your hands should be shoulder-width apart.

2. Grip and Hang:

   • Jump or step up to get your chin above the bar.

   • Allow your arms to fully extend, so your body is hanging down. Keep your feet off the ground.

3. Engaging Your Muscles:

   • Engage your core and back muscles. Keep your shoulders pulled down and away from your ears to avoid strain.

4. Pulling Up:

   • Begin the movement by pulling your elbows down towards your sides.

   • Focus on using your back muscles, while keeping your body straight and avoiding swinging.

5. Chin Above the Bar:

   • Continue to pull until your chin is above the bar. This is the peak of the movement.

   • Hold momentarily at the top to maximize muscle engagement.

6. Lowering Down:

   • Slowly lower your body back to the starting position.

   • Keep control as you descend, ensuring that your arms are fully extended at the bottom.

7. Repetition:

   • Aim to perform 3 sets of 5-10 repetitions, depending on your strength level.

   • Rest for 60 seconds between sets.

Tips for Beginners:

• If you find the full pull-up challenging, start with assisted variations (using a resistance band or a partner).

• Focus on proper form rather than the number of repetitions.

• Gradually increase your strength and repetitions as you become more comfortable with the movement.
