Jumping Pull-Up
From standing under the bar, jump up to grab it and let the jump carry you into a pull-up, then drop back to the floor; a conditioning move rather than a strength one.
How to do it
Setup
Standing under a bar you can reach with a jump, feet hip-width, arms ready overhead.
Steps
- Dip and jump, grabbing the bar overhand.
- Use the momentum to pull the chin over the bar.
- Lower to straight arms, let go and land softly with bent knees.
Common mistakes
Letting go at the top and dropping: lower to straight arms first, then land. Landing on straight legs: soft knees, whole feet. Missing the bar on tired jumps: slow down; a missed grab ends on the floor.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump and pull, inhale landing.
