Technique

How to perform Typewriter Pull-Up

1. Grip the bar overhand with your hands wider than shoulder-width and begin in a controlled hang.
2. Pull toward one hand until your head is near bar height, bending that elbow while allowing the other arm to lengthen.
3. Keep your head near the same height as you shift toward the opposite hand, bending that elbow and extending the first arm.
4. Move smoothly between sides without kicking or dropping into a hang between transfers.
5. Return toward the center with both elbows bent, then lower under control to the starting hang.
6. Alternate the starting side on subsequent repetitions while keeping the same grip width.
