This advanced pull-up uses one arm to lift your body. It works your lats and biceps, boosting upper body strength and balance.

1. Get ready by hanging on to the bar with both hands.

2. Grip the bar strongly with the pulling arm, and place the opposite hand on your waist or side.

1. Pull yourself up with one arm until your chin is above the bar.

2. Keep your body steady as you rise.

3. Lower yourself slowly while staying tense.

4. If needed, hook a finger from the other hand for support.

Exhale while going up, and inhale while coming down.

1. Attempting without being prepared increases the risk of injury.

2. If you lack strength, use assistive bands or equipment to progress gradually.

3. Make sure to maintain a firm grip to avoid excessive strain on your wrists and shoulders.
