Which step is NOT part of the pull-up execution?

  1. Push away from bar to begin descent

  2. Chin clears the bar

  3. Feet should be together

  4. Eyes should remain forward

The correct answer is: Feet should be together

In the context of performing a pull-up, maintaining the proper body position is essential for both safety and effectiveness. When executing a pull-up, having the feet together is not a necessary step. In fact, many athletes find it more comfortable to keep their feet slightly apart or even crossed, which can help with stability and prevent excessive swinging during the movement. In contrast, pushing away from the bar to begin the descent (which helps to control the movement and engage the muscles properly), ensuring that the chin clears the bar (a key indicator of completing the pull-up), and keeping the eyes forward (which helps maintain proper body alignment and focus throughout the movement) are all integral parts of a proper pull-up execution. Hence, the option regarding keeping feet together does not align with the critical components of executing a pull-up effectively.
