Perfect Typewriter Pull-Up Technique

The typewriter pull-up is an advanced horizontal movement that trains lateral strength and unilateral pulling power. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures smooth movement quality and balanced development.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

Wide Grip Setup:Hang from bar with hands placed wider than shoulder-width apart
Standard Pull-Up:Pull yourself up to bar level maintaining equal arm engagement
