01 / Steps

How to do it

  1. This exercise focuses on isolating the biceps as much as possible, trying to avoid the shoulder extension that would involve more of the back.

  2. For this, look for a place where you can hang yourself with your forearms supported on some surface (it can be on a pull-up bar, a wall, columns, or similar).

  3. Perform a pull-up while keeping your body always separated from the point of support.
