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
- Lateral Shift: While maintaining chin at bar level, shift horizontally toward one hand
- Cross Over: Continue moving laterally across to the other hand, then return to center and lower
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dropping below bar level during lateral movement
- Using momentum instead of controlled strength
- Uneven grip width causing imbalanced movement
- Rushing through the horizontal transition
- Poor shoulder blade engagement during shift
