Pull-Up Progression

Time to build on the success we had this past season.

We put a much greater emphasis on our dry-land training.  We were a stronger, more athletic team than the year before.  We also stayed injury-free.  Not a coincidence!

We didn't make the pull-up a big part of our program, but I'd like to see us add it for next year.  Being able to do pull-ups doesn't happen overnight.  This spring and summer, let's work toward being able to add pull-ups to our dry-land routines.

There's a great article on Swimming World that explains & shows a progression for everyone.  I say everyone because even an athlete who can do pull-ups may not be performing them correctly.

Read the entire article and watch all the videos before starting on your pull-up progression:
