How to Do Close Grip Pull-ups
The close grip pull-ups should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the close grip pull-ups.

Movement

1. With each hand, reach up and grab the bar. Thumbs should point in the same direction, and your grip should be wider than your body.
2. Your arms and body should create a Y when properly positioned. Each arm should be 30 to 45 degrees away from your body, but not more than a 45-degree angle.
3. Pull your body higher towards the bar by looking straight ahead.
4. After a little pause, return to your original position.
