Want to maximize your pull up efforts? Learn the butterfly pull up! Tutorial below. Ask if you have questions. 🙂
Prescription:
- Initiate a kip by swinging feet front and back, and follow swing motion through to hips and then shoulders
- The body should bow from global extension to global flexion
- At the apex of the “from” portion of the swing you will spot the bar, and do the fastest pull that will get your chin over the bar (or chest to the bar)
- Follow through by pulling yourself under the by maintaining global extension
- When arms reach full extension, the body should be fully extended as well; i.e. arms behind ears, hips forward and feet behind you
- If you hit the sweet spot the body should be fully loaded to initiate the next swing and pull up
Note: Make sure to maintain traction through full range of motion.
