Mixed Grip Pullups

Grip the bar in such a way that the palm of one hand is facing you and the palm of the other hand in the opposite direction, as shown in the figure. The hands are slightly wider than shoulder width. This will be your starting position. As you exhale, begin to pull yourself up. Hint: while tensing the arm with the palm facing you, focus on using the muscles of the back, the elbow on this side should be close to the body. Straining the other hand, the palm of which is facing forward, focus on using the latissimus dorsi muscle, the elbow on this side is pulled to the side. Hold this position for a few seconds. As you inhale, slowly lower your arms, returning to the starting position. Complete the required number of repetitions. After completing the approach, change the grip of the palms. Variations: To make the exercise easier, you can use a pull-up machine or have a partner support your legs. To complicate the exercise, use a belt with a weight.
