Pull Up Half Turns

Description:

Pull Up Half Turns are designed to develop upper body strength.  In particular, this exercise challenges the performer to keep a steady rhythm between each pull up.  The more you are able to maintain a consistent tempo, the more efficiently you will be able to perform this exercise.  For best result, initiate each turn by hollowing the body.  To scale, perform standard pull ups.

Process:

• begin in a hang on a bar and engage core
• initiate a hollow position from the toes and lift one arm off the bar to perform a half turn to your desired direction
• after finishing in a mixed hand position, perform a pull up
• as you extend the elbows to return to hang, switch the hand that is in an underhand grip and grab the bar in an overhand grip
• repeat the process
