Why does lifting legs up during pull ups makes them easier?

177 viewsOtherPhysics

I’ve recently started doing more pull-ups and noticed that I subconsciously start lifting or swinging my legs when things get tough. I guess it’s about shifting my center of gravity, but I don’t quite understand how that works. and explain like I’m adult please!

Because you’re using your core to carry most of the weight of your legs so less work on your shoulders / back/ arms.
