Explosive Pull-up
Muscles: Back, Biceps, Rear Delts, Core
Form tips
- From a dead hang, pull as fast and powerfully as possible
- Drive elbows down hard — aim to get chest to the bar
- At the peak, hands may briefly leave the bar
- Catch the bar and lower under control
Common mistakes
- Kipping instead of generating power from the lats
- Not reaching peak height — pull must be genuinely explosive
- Crashing back onto the bar — absorb the catch
