Close Grip Pull-ups

How to do it

Grip the bar with hands about shoulder-width apart or slightly closer, palms facing away from you.
Hang with arms fully extended and brace the core before starting the pull.
Pull your chest toward the bar in a steady working-set tempo, driving the elbows down along the sides of the torso.
Feel the back muscles do the initial pulling work, with the biceps finishing the movement as your chin clears the bar.
Exhale as you pull up, then inhale as you lower back to a full hang with control.
Keep the elbows tracking close to the ribs rather than flaring out, which keeps the narrower grip pattern intact.
