LANCE BUMGARNER: Right now, I would like to show you a back compound exercise. A compound exercise is an exercise that is going to be using many muscle groups. The exercise that I am going to be demonstrating, this compound exercise is a pull-up. What you are going to want to do is you are going to grip the handles on the outsides. Cross your legs, keep your body in line. As you pull up, bring your chin to the top of the bar and return slow. You do not want to be swinging your legs, rocking your body. Come up and down slow. Up, breathe out and back down to the starting position. Repeat several sets based on your fitness needs. Just remember to keep your body in a nice and straight line and bring your chin up to the bar each time. That is how to do a back compound exercise. Again, a compound exercise, you are going to be using many muscle groups. That exercise is working my back. I was working my biceps. I was working the back of my shoulders.
