Jumping Pull-Up

Set-up

• Stand on the floor or a box under a pull-up bar you can reach with a small jump.
• Grip the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder width.

How to do it

1. Bend your knees and jump, using the jump to help pull your chin over the bar.
2. Lower yourself slowly back to the box or floor.
3. Reset your feet and repeat.

Coaching cues

• Use as little jump as you need, and let your arms do as much as they can.
• Make the lowering slow.

Common mistakes

• Jumping so hard that the arms do nothing.
• Dropping straight down from the bar.
