I enjoyed this post so much as the Exercise Video of the Day at Street Workout that I felt it was necessary to post it here. This is a pull-up variation that I use, but in a slightly different way. This video features a pull-up hold concept using your feet on the ground as a spot. What they are doing is holding a pull-up position without actually doing the pull-up for about a minute which is completely torturous. What I personally do is what I’ve deemed, punishment pull-ups. I do a regular set of pull-ups, (any grip) adding a hold pull-up into the set. For example, if I’m doing 15 reps, I will do 3 hold pull-ups somewhere in that 15 reps. The hold consist of just holding the pull-up at the top of the contraction. It hurts, bad! In this case I usually don’t do as many sets, somewhere in the range of 5 sets total. Give them a try, this is a secret pull-up of mine. Enjoy.
