Keeping your body in position while performing a pull up enables all the correct muscles to be used in their most effective movement. Having good core strength is key for this, as it means you can add tension to your core, maintain a hollow position, and focus on the muscles located in you arm and back to do all the work. It's surprising how much different a strong core makes to not only the pull up, but all exercises across the board. Good form is vital, and this is a necessary step to getting there. You don't need a 6-pack - the core is so much more than just the abs. We're talking the pelvic floor muscles, the internal and external obliques, the diaphragm, the erector spinae, the lumbar muscles, the deep rotators, and all the rest. Start working on your core, and you'll notice the difference in pull up technique almost immediately. ****** Order your portable pullup bar here: https://prf.hn/l/A3xjkM4 ****** See Pull Up Mate on: https://www.pullupmate.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pullupmate/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pullupmate
