Whether you're working towards your first strict pull-up, or you want to increase your muscular endurance, using a box to support your legs will help you specifically focus on the upper body. Since the weight of your legs will be resting on the box, you'll be pulling less bodyweight during the movement. Which means, you should be able to do twice as many reps!
If you train twice as many reps, you will improve your pulling endurance and conditioning. Make sense?
It's like strength training versus endurance— They are very different, and you need both for gymnastics.
✅Here are a few things to remember:
▪️1. Set your hands right outside the shoulders to reinforce lat engagement.
▪️2. Make sure your shoulders are active before starting the first rep. All you have to do? Pull down on the bar until there is space between your shoulders and ears.
▪️3. Pull until your chin fully clears the height of the bar.
▪️4. Train the negative! Lowering yourself back down is arguably more important that pulling yourself up, as it works the eccentric portion of the exercise.
Whether you're new to pull-ups, or a seasoned athlete, I challenge you to do a max effort set to failure.
It's going to be incredibly challenging. *Evil laugh*
