Скачать или смотреть 15 Pull-ups Will Get You to “Elite”

If you want to be elite in the military, you gotta be good at pull-ups. 💪

Sure, technique is important… but you know what’s even more important-er? STRENGTH.

Some of the best alternate exercise you should be doing to build your strength for the pull-up:

1️⃣ Lat downs (Wide grip, close grip): Keep these smooth and controlled, don’t leverage your body to pull the weight, focus on the use of the lats. Strive for 4 sets of 10, reaching failure at the tenth rep.

2️⃣ Bent-over Barbell Row: Excellent for mid back strength. Control of the weight is VERY important. Start with low weight, squeeze at contraction before releasing back down. Don’t just jerk the weight up and down, you’ll blow out your back… use a smith machine to help you go up in weight.

3️⃣ Bicep Curl: That’s right, this exercise actually has a purpose other than being able to tell people “welcome to the gun show.” Biceps contribute about 20% of the total work required for a pull-up, which is a lot! So build up those guns.
