need to stop swaying!

[SCREW]

whenever i do pull-ups on my way up i always sway foreward and it gets me all off balance, when i see a lot of people doing it they dont have this problem

i even touch my feet on the ground a little bit when i come down but that doesnt help too much

any suggestions?

widen your grip is all i can think of. i naturally go forward a little bit but theres nothing bad about that.

Wide grips? make sure abbs are relaxed and arms are 180 degrees.

that happens to me but i end up further back from the bar...

im short an need a stool to grab the bars lol, i position the stool about a foot back so when i drop down i dont trip on it...anyways my first rep gets the swinging motion going so whats been working for me is i stick my right foot out on the first rep...problem solved...evry once in awhile ill have to stick my foot out a lil to keep the swing in check during my set...also where gloves (u prolly r) and sqeeze the bar tight, dont relax your fingers like there hooks

anyways i see alot of people using that swinging motion, they have some term for that type of training, i cant think of it now but if you do a search on you tube "50 pull ups" i bet it would come up....
