Typewriter Pull-Up

Advanced pull-up variation where you move side to side along the bar. Builds lateral pulling strength and core stability.

Instructions

1. Grip a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands wider than shoulder-width.
2. Pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar.
3. Shift your body weight to one side, moving toward that side’s hand.
4. Extend your opposite arm, reaching toward the opposite end of the bar.
5. Return to the center and pull yourself up again.
6. Repeat the movement, alternating sides with each repetition.

Tips

• Maintain a pulled-up position throughout the lateral movement.
• Keep your core engaged to prevent excessive swinging.
• Move with control and coordination.
• This is an advanced movement; ensure you can perform standard pull-ups first.
