Pull-ups are the deadlift of the upper body—but most lifters never program them with the same attention they give their major lifts. Learn how to master proper technique, progress from zero reps to weighted pull-ups, periodize your grip, protect your joints and use Swissies-SP handles to expand your training options.

Pull-up handles can change more than grip comfort. Swissies-SP handles create new angles, reduce strain for some lifters, and add fresh variety to chin-ups and pull-ups.
