There are many ways you can perform this workout. Even though you don’t really need any equipment as you can use any hanging object that can support your body weight, however it is highly recommended to buy a good quality pull-up bar.
There are some ways you can use a pull up bar for your daily workout.
Standard chin-up: In this method you will grab the bar while palms are facing you. Use shoulder width grip and raise yourself until your chin touches the bar. Next bring yourself down slowly until your arms are fully extended.
Climber pull-up: Like standard chin-up, move yourself up but when you are level with the bar shift your weight to either right or left, then lower your body.
Behind neck pull-up: Grab and pull the bar in the same way as you would do during standard chin-up but instead of touching your chin, you will touch back of your neck to the bar. Then lower down yourself at full arm stretch.
These are the best three types of pull-up exercises that will help you generate great strength in your upper body and will make your core strong.
