This way, the exercise can be easier or harder, depending on your goals.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>HOW<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Position the bar at chest height and take an overhand grip. It should be slightly wider than your shoulder width. <\/li><li>While holding of the bar, squat down under it placing the feet slightly forwards. Position the hips directly under the bar so that the torso is upright with arms vertical. This is your starting position.<\/li><li>Begin the movement by pulling the chest towards the bar \u2013 aim to get the chin just over it. Try to keep the torso under the bar as you pull. <\/li><li>Slowly return and repeat for time or reps.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>WHY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mastering the pull-up can be a daunting task, especially in the absence of suitable bar equipment. <\/li><li>The superfunctional\/trapeze bar provides <strong>an excellent solution for progression<\/strong> by allowing a body position that is close to the pull-up position. However, you can modify it according to ability and strength. <\/li><li>The vertical position of the torso under the bar will get you used to a full body hang. <strong>The placement of the legs is also important<\/strong> \u2013 with the feet closer to the bar, you will be able to push into the floor to assist the pull-up; feet further away will make the pull harder. <\/li><li>The superfunctional bar is also unstable, as in not fixed. While this won\u2019t present a problem for most, it will <strong>require additional stabilisation <\/strong>from the shoulders and core. This stabilisation will help to condition the deeper muscles of the torso to be stronger as you progress towards the full pull-up.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Supported pull up\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/194329069?h=b1f40bce86&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OTHER EXERCISES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/tutorial-assisted-squat\/\">THE ASSISTED SQUAT WILL DEVELOP THE REQUIRED STRENGTH AND STABILITY FOR THE CLASSIC SQUAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/tutorial-superfunctional-hip-mobility-with-twist\/\">TUTORIAL: SUPERFUNCTIONAL HIP MOBILITY WITH A TWIST<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT The superfunctional supported pull-up is an excellent developmental exercise for the full pull-up.
