How To Do Proper Pull-Ups

How To Do Proper Pull-Ups:

In light of the growing popularity of swinging pull-ups, I decided to blog about what I consider a real pull-up to be. A pull-up without any swinging motion is called a dead-hang pull-up and is much more difficult to do. Swinging the body uses momentum to help with the exercise and the intended muscles (lats) don't get activated like they should. TIP: If you can't perform a pull-up without swinging than begin with cable lat pull downs, or an assisted pull-up machine.
