Butterfly Pull-up

Expert Advice

Ensure you have mastered strict pull-ups before attempting butterfly pull-ups to reduce the risk of injury.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Hang from a pull-up bar with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Initiate a circular motion by kicking your legs forward and then backward.
  3. As your legs swing backward, pull your chest up to the bar in a circular path.
  4. Press down on the bar as you reach the top to propel your body into the next rep.
  5. Continue the movement in a smooth, butterfly wing-like motion.
