For the Military Grip Pull-Up, find a bar that is raised about a foot above your maximum reach. This allows you to exercise the full range of motion without hitting the surface of the ground. For good form, grip the bar with your hands facing in as seen in the picture. PLace your hands close together on the bar and right in front of your head. From a dead hang, tense your abdominal muscles and pull your body to the bar while keeping your legs straight. Pull your body up till your head is above the bar on one side. Next, lower yourself down and repeat the motion but with your head finishing on the other side of the bar.
This exercise focuses on the flexor muscles of the forearms and arms, as well as the latisimus dorsi muscles to bring the arm to your torso. This type of Pull-Up puts specific emphasis on the core, which must remain stiff to keep your legs from swaying side-to-side. Muscles of the back, shoulder, neck, and abdomen must also be used to provide structure to the exercise.
