Modified pull ups when the bar is too low

Very similar to table bodyweight row, a reverse pull up uses a bar (or anything else that you can hold onto) that’s below the height of a regular pull up bar. The legs will touch the ground at all times, therefore, it’s a great pull up alternative for those still not confident in their strength.

Why are pull up bars so high?
They may prefer to have them even higher, so that tall people can even use them without needing to bend their knees, which is possibly beneficial for CrossFit-style swinging pull-ups, though this will then mean that most people will need a box or step to get up to the bar.
