Archer pull-up
- Advanced
- Pull-up bar
- Unilateral
Pull toward one hand, other arm nearly straight
Muscles worked
- Primary:
- Back
- Secondary:
- Biceps
How to do it
- Hang with a very wide grip.
- Pull towards one hand while the other arm stays almost straight along the bar.
- Lower under control and switch sides on the next rep.
Common mistakes
- Bending both arms equally (that's just a wide pull-up).
- Trying it before you can do at least 10 strict pull-ups.
Tips
- It's the step before the one-arm pull-up.
- The straighter the assisting arm, the harder it gets.
