Question: 1 / 400

During pull-ups, what is the correct position at the bottom of the movement?

Arms fully bent

Arms remain straight

In the proper form for pull-ups, at the bottom of the movement, the arms should remain straight. This position allows for a complete stretch of the latissimus dorsi (lats) and ensures that the muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise. Maintaining straight arms at the bottom helps to prevent injuries and encourages proper muscle activation, which is essential for building strength.

Other positions, such as fully bent arms, do not reflect an optimal starting point for the next repetition and can lead to muscle imbalances or strain. Hand spacing and foot positioning are relevant but don’t directly impact the primary focus of the bottom position where the arms should be straight. By ensuring the arms are straight at the bottom of the pull-up, the body sets itself up for an effective and safe movement in the subsequent phases of the exercise.
