How to perform it
- Take a pronated grip on a pull-up bar.
- From a hanging position, raise yourself a few inches without using your arms. Do this by depressing your shoulder girdle in a reverse shrugging motion.
- Pause at the completion of the movement, and then slowly return to the starting position before performing more repetitions.
Muscles worked
The Scapular Pull-Up primarily targets your Traps, with support from your Lats, Middle Back. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Scapular Pull-Up slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
