The Typewriter pull-up is a pull-up exercise variation that taxes the hips, core, quadriceps, forearms, latissimus dorsi, trapezius, rhomboids, and triceps brachii. This exercise is good for bodybuilders and weightlifters who want to focus on the entire body in one bodyweight exercise.
Alternatives of this exercise include the strict pull-up, banded pull-up, chin-up, dead hang, isometric pull-up, and chest-to-bar pull-up.
One mistake to avoid during this exercise is not keeping your chest upright and body in one straight line. Two tips to avoid this mistake are not moving your legs in an alternating fashion and keeping your body rigid.
The toughness of this exercise is a 9 out of 10 due to the full-body tension, core strength, and coordination.
