How to do High Pull-Ups #shorts #pullups

When I started learning to do pull-ups, I thought you could only pull to your chest.

And if we’re being honest, most people stop at their chin.

Until I discovered high pulls and realized that you could actually pull to your waistline!!!!!!! How cool is that!? (I’m not quite there yet, but I’m working on it).

High pulls are great for explosive power, which will help with muscle-ups and overall dynamic capabilities (this helps with bouldering, calisthenics, crossfit..etc.).

To do a high pull, take a small step or swing forward, maintain a hollow body position (or try to, it takes practice, I'm still working on keeping a hollow on every rep) and pull back on a diagonal, aiming for below your chest, then to your belly button, then eventually to your hips.

Training High Pull-Ups:
- Try banded for 6-12 reps, 3-4 sets, focusing on moving as fast as possible. As you get better, do more reps and decrease the weight of the band.
- As a cluster set working up to a total of 10-12 reps
- As you get stronger, try doing it in a 5x5
- Or just have fun and try on a whim when you feel like it

Will you make high pulls a part of your routine?

Gotta use the band to get the extra reps! One day I won't need it.

Your back muscles have a chevron pattern and it might be the coolest thing I've ever seen

I would love to try high pulls, but I really don't want to smash my head through the ceiling.
