Pull Up Mate and associated products are no longer available. However, you can still get some great advice and guides on building upper body strength and endurance in our info section and Youtube Channel. 

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

A perfect dip is all about remembering where to position key areas of your body. Here’s a quick explanation:

  1. Grab hold of the dip bars with a neutral grip, lifting yourself up so that your wrists are in line with your shoulders.
  2. Lock your elbows straight at the top position. Remember to keep your elbows tucked in close to your body throughout the full range of motion.
  3. Activate your core muscles by contracting them before you begin the exercise. This gives added strength and stability to your spine to reduce stress on those areas of your body.
  4. Keep your spine neutral and straight.
  5. Do not shrug your shoulders. Roll them back and keep them there.
  6. Lower yourself down as much as you are comfortable with in the beginning. Remember to keep your core activated, your elbows in and your shoulders in a neutral position.
  7. Inhale on the way down, and exhale on the way up.
  8. After a few sessions try to lower yourself down to the point where your shoulders are just below your elbows.

 

Take it further

  • Slow things down a little to help improve your stability
  • Add a weighted belt to increase the load on your arms
  • Lean forward to focus on your chest more
  • Consider moving onto other exercises that progress on from this point, such as knee and leg raises

 

When done correctly, the tricep dip is almost a full body exercise as it requires a number of muscle groups to properly perform a dip.

Need something to practice on at home?

Door pull up bars just aren’t going to cut it, especially if you’re renting.

And fixed bars? Fine if you own your place and have space outside. But even then they are left out in the elements, parts rust, padding falls apart. 

A portable pull up bar is what you need if you’re serious about building upper body strength. And it’s not just for experts. Start at the beginning, build up strength, work on your back muscles and before you know it, you’ll be pulling 5 reps easily.
