In a pull up exercise you grab an overhead bar and pull your body until your head has gone past the bar.

Have I written the sentence correctly now?

It's grammatically correct, but it doesn't describe the exercise correctly. It doesn't say which way you pull your body. I'd use a different verb anyway.

Why do you need to describe pull-ups? I'm sure native speakers have described that exercise in many easily-accessible places.

I do it and talk about it often that is why I want to describe it.

In a pull up exercise you grab an overhead bar and pull your body upwards until your head has gone past the bar.

Could you please help me?

Tufuy, you don't pull your body. You do, in effect, pull the bar towards you. However, since the bar is stationary, you move and not the bar. To put it more simply, when doing a pull up you pull yourself up.

Fair enough.

That's a decent description. Congratulations!

I would use pull-up exercise.

I would use pull-up exercise.

I'm sorry I missed that. Tufguy, you need to hyphenate pull-up when it's the name of the exercise.
