The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
Form cues
- Grab a pull-up bar with a narrow supinated (chin-up) grip, hands six inches apart.
- Pull yourself up by focusing on curling your hands toward your shoulders.
- Minimize lat engagement by keeping your chest close to the bar throughout.
Set a bar at waist height, hang underneath it with arms extended and body straight.
Form cues
- Set a bar at waist height, hang underneath it with arms extended and body straight.
- Pull your chest to the bar by driving your elbows down and back.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together hard at the top for a one-second hold.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width with palms facing away.
- Start from a dead hang with arms fully extended and shoulders packed.
- Initiate the pull by depressing your shoulder blades — imagine pulling the bar toward your chest.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of muscle building training. Use moderate loads (65-80% of your 1RM) with controlled eccentrics and full range of motion. Prioritize progressive overload by adding reps before adding weight. Train each muscle group 2x per week with 10-20 hard sets per muscle per week.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 8-12 reps — the hypertrophy sweet spot for maximum muscle growth
- Rest Periods: 60-90 seconds — long enough for quality reps, short enough for metabolic stress
- Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for muscle building
Biceps Training Tips
- *Vary your grip width and angle — supinated, neutral, and pronated grips each emphasize different portions of the biceps and brachialis.
- *Incline curls stretch the long head more than standing curls, producing a fuller peak.
- *Keep elbows pinned to your sides — swinging reduces bicep activation.
