1 - Grip the bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, using an overhand grip (palms facing away from you).
2 - Start from a dead hang position with your arms fully extended, body relaxed, and feet off the ground.
3 - Initiate the movement by engaging your latissimus dorsi muscles (the large back muscles) and pulling your shoulders down and back.
4 - Begin the pull-up by pulling your chest toward the bar. Focus on leading with your chest and keeping your elbows pointed outward.
5 - As you continue to pull upward, aim to create an arcing movement with your chest, bringing it up and forward toward the bar.
6 - At the top of the pull-up, your chest should touch the bar. Maintain this position for a brief moment to ensure that your chest indeed makes contact with the bar.
7 - Lower your body back down with control until your arms are fully extended, returning to the dead hang position.
