In this video you'll see 3 weird pull up exercises to develop muscular
strength, coordination, core strength, and stamina.
Many people
mistakenly believe that you need to go to the gym to get in great shape.
However, the ability to move and control your own body weight should
be a prerequisite before integrating machines, dumbbells, barbells or other devices into your fitness program.
The
first of the three pull ups exercises you'll see in this video is the
typewriter.
This exercise is very challenging for most people. Pull yourself up toward
one hand and maneuver over toward the other side of the bar while keeping your head
as high as possible. Descend and repeat.
Some people choose to do this
with straight legs. Others prefer to bend the knees or even slightly
extend out. Beginners can do this from a low bar with feet on the ground.
The next pull up variation is the combat pull up. Raise
your legs up to the bar and either rest the soles of your feet on the
bar support (hard) or hook your feet over the bar. Pull your torso up as
high as possible then repeat until you reach momentary muscle failure.
The
next pull up variation is the jumping pull up with lateral leg raise.
This should be easiest of the three exercises because, when done
properly, you can take advantage of the momentum built from your jump
and initiate your leg raise simultaneously.
Bonus exercise: Sprints! Always a top conditioning exercise.
Sample Workout:
Exercise #1 - Typewriter pull ups: Perform as many reps as possible then immediately begin combat pulls (exercise #2).
Exercise #2 - Combat Pull: Perform as many reps as possible
Exercise #3 - Sprint 100 meters.
Exercise #4 - Jumping pull ups with Lateral Leg Raise: Perform as many reps as possible (up to 10).
Repeat this circuit 10 times and record your time to completion.
