Need help getting over the bar?

A foundation in strength and knowledge of mechanical efficiency is prerequisite to kipping.

Tips from Thursday night’s pull-up clinic.

Pull-up Tips

A refresher in no particular order:

1) Initiate the pulling action with your lats, not biceps.

2) Drive your elbows towards your lats (ideally behind them) to finish.

3) Be fast on the rebound. Get your elbows less than 90 degrees asap.

4) Bring your center of mass closer to the bar by raising your knees to your chest.
