Modifications

In order to make the training extensive, the exercises on the latissimus pull can be done in different ways. In order to stimulate the inner parts of the broad back muscle more specifically, a tight grip should be chosen. The hands are one hand width apart and the palms of the hands are facing each other.

In this exercise, the grip is pulled to the chest and the upper body is increasingly moved backwards during the pull phase. In order to achieve the effects of the latissimus pull without the use of a device, the possibility of pull-ups with either a narrow or a wide grip is offered. The wider the handle is chosen, the more isolated the back muscles are stressed.

In the instep grip (fingers point to the body) the upper arm flexor muscles do part of the work. Therefore this variant of pull-ups seems easier than the wide grip.
