01 / Steps
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, while fully extending the other arm.
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.
