Açıklama
Unlike the classic pull-up, the Behind The Neck Pull Up is an advanced variation where the bar touches the back of the neck instead of the chin. It intensely activates the mid-upper fibers of the lats, lower traps, and rhomboid muscles. It is suitable for athletes with excellent shoulder mobility and joint health. Since it is more challenging and carries a higher risk for the shoulders than a classic pull-up, it must be performed with caution. When done regularly, it provides significant improvement in upper back development, mid-upper lat activation, and building a V-taper back.
