A '''Two Hands High Pull-up''' is a warm up exercise done with a barbell. To perform this exercise, stand close to the barbell with your feet about 12 to 18 inches apart. Grasp the barbell with both hands slightly more than shoulder width apart. Keeping your arms straight, lift the barbell above your head, while at the same time, standing up straight. Without pausing, reverse that motion and bring the barbell down until it almost touches the floor. Do from ten to fifteen repetitions. The weight on the barbell should be light enough that it can be pulled up easily. The movement should be done slowly enough that exertion can be felt every inch of the way. | A '''Two Hands High Pull-up''' is a warm up exercise done with a barbell.
