Jumping Pull-ups

Continuing with the theme of body-weight exercises, today I want to go over pull-ups. Also refer to yesterdays post: weighted push-ups.

Being able to pull your entire body-weight is great way to build upper body strength. Unfortunately, pull-ups are a tough exercise, and it can be difficult to actually progress to be able to do just one of them.

So how do you get better at pull-ups, if you can't even do one?

Below are two video examples of how to perform jumping pull-ups. They are great to do because you are able to incorporate your legs and use momentum to pull yourself upwards. Also, even if you do regular pull-ups, jumping ones are always good for a change up.
