For example, a pronated grip is best at hitting the latissimus dorsi muscles of the back. With a pronated grip there is less stress and usage of the biceps brachii when compared to a supinated (chin- up) grip. The neutral grip utilizes your brachilalis and brachioradialis muscles in a way that neither of the other two grips do. For some with chronic shoulder problems and impingements, the standard pull- up grip just isn’t a great idea, and you may need to do all exercises with a supinated grip.
However, if recovering from persistent elbow problems, being able to lower yourself properly in a negative exercise might be tougher in a supinated grip. If you’re a complete mess, try the neutral style grip and go from there.
The success of doing a pull- up, as with all compound movements, can becomes a game of finding where your weakness is. The main muscle usage for a pull- up should be from the back. From a hang position, you should fire primarily in your latissimus dorsi, and start off a chain of support, lifting your body more with your back and core than with your arms.
The most common mistake in a pull- up is failing to fire the back properly, or at all. Consider that the average person gets their guns not from curls, but from doing brute- strength arms- dominant chin- up work. A good exercise and test for this is the hang bar lift. The purpose of this movement is to see if you can properly control the firing of your back muscles to then coordinate the rest of the proper chain of events.
Hang Bar Lift Instruction: To do the hang bar lift, position yourself in a dead hang on the bar. This can be weight assisted or not, that aspect doesn’t matter, but you need to be fully extended in a dead hang. You want to almost completely lock your elbows and paralyze your arm movement on the bar so that when you raise yourself up into a shrug, you’re using only your back to lift yourself. The movement is subtle – you’re only causing a small movement and firing almost completely with your lats. Your grip on the bar may be tired from the hang, but all the work of lifting yourself into that movement should come from your back and back alone. If you feel any pain at all in your shoulders, then switch grips to supinated or neutral. Full Range of Motion.
Cheating a pull- up is going to cheat yourself out of success. Some of the ugliest half range pull- ups I’ve ever seen were largely due to weak rhomboids and lower trap muscles.

They are notorious for strong cores. A weak core means a weak stabilization system and while it may not seem like a big deal swinging around on that bar and lacking the ability to stabilize force upward, it’ll hurt your pull- up.
Another strong player in your pull- up ability is your actual forearm strength and grip.

Each has its pros and cons, so in the end you should use whatever you can to progress. Assist machine: This is the easiest method to help assist you.
These machines work on the method of giving you opposing weight to help aid in lifting you upwards. The con is they can help aid you too much and take out stability work that you can earn with using some other methods. Partner or wall assistant: I love using partner assisted pull- ups because they automatically throw off stability, help give that mental push, and allow for a lot more resistance control. Don’t utilize the partner so much to help raise you; do that only as a last resort on forced reps. Instead utilize your partners body/wall to aid your legs in assisting to help pull yourself up. This way you get more core and leg training along with your pull- up work. Bands: These are likely the best in assistance because they offer changing resistance use of stabilization, make it very hard to cheat, and offer portability.
The flip side is they can be a bit tricky to work with, and as your resistance needs change, your band needs will change as well. The best bands for pull up training in my opinion are Woody Bands.

If you’re an overweight guy or girl, the probability of lifting yourself over that bar can be summed up in two words: fat chance. And unfortunately, “overweight” in this case isn’t as much as you might think. Just 4- 5% higher body fat and your chances just got cut in half.
