How to do it
Get into a low bar with bent knees and a pronated grip.
Perform repetitions by bringing your chin to one of your hands each time.
You can also perform them with straight legs to increase the difficulty.
Unlike regular pull-ups, Australian pull-ups target the middle and lower trapezius and external rotators, making them beneficial for correcting posture, addressing imbalances, and preventing injuries.
