An advanced variation of the standard pullup, the mixed-grip pullup improves back, arm, and grip strength.

Grab a pullup bar with one palm facing your body, the other facing away from your body, and your hands shoulder-width apart. Allow your arms to hang in a fully extended position.

Keeping your shoulders down and away from your ears, pull yourself up until your chin clears the bar. Pause, then slowly lower yourself to the starting position.
