Women should be doing pull-ups for many reasons, but mainly, just because.
Seeing a guy do a pull-up (or chin-up), sometimes with one arm, is not a surprising sight in the gym.
Why should guys have all the fun? Or strength.
Last week the team at SIX3NINE personal trainers gave the run down on why and how women should be doing full push-ups.
Now they’re back with the run down on everything to do with the so-called ‘strict pull up’ (meaning on-point with no shakiness or swinging).
‘As with the push-up, this exercise is beautifully simple yet is not mastered and used to its full potential in many training programmes,’ says James Summersby, trainer at SIX3NINE.
