Commando Pull-Up

Grip the bar with one hand in front of the other, both palms facing each other, as if the bar ran front to back instead of side to side. Pull yourself up along one side of the bar, bringing your head past it on that side, then lower and pull up again bringing your head past the other side on the next rep. Your torso ends up tilting slightly to alternate sides rather than pulling straight up the middle. This asymmetric grip challenges your grip and forearms differently than a standard pull-up, since your hands work against each other rather than mirroring one another. Keep your shoulders pulled down and back throughout rather than letting them creep up toward your ears.
