Seated Commando Pull-Up
Description
The seated commando pull-up is a regression of the standing commando pull-up performed with the legs assisting from a seated position. The body alternates pulling up to one side, then the other, hitting each side of the back independently. It is great for building toward unweighted commando pull-ups.
