Pull Ups

There is no better test of upper back strength than the old-fashioned pull up. They reward the fit and the strong, and yes, even the ladies can rock the pull up. Just do what Coach Stevo says.

Coach Stevo's Top Tips

  • Pack your shoulders.
  • Always start with locked elbows.
  • Do not let your legs come up.
  • Pull until your chin crests the plane of the bar.
