Exercise

High Pull

Type: Bilateral Rest: 180s Equipment: Klimmzugstange

Tutorial

1

Find a box and place it in front of the pull-up bar. The box should be high enough so that you can easily grip the pull-up bar and your body is quite stretched.
2

Hold one foot slightly in front of the box, tighten your stomach and release the second foot from the box so that you swing slightly forward.
3

At the foremost point, just before the movement reverses, pull yourself upwards.
4

Try to pull yourself up in a C-pull curve until your lower chest is level with the bar or touches the bar.

Tip

Make sure you use a pull-up bar with a good grip and start from a raised position. It is advisable to grip with a slight false grip. Try not to take too much momentum at the start. The pull-up curve should resemble a C. You should be able to pull up to your lower chest, if this is not the case, make the exercise easier with a band.
