Preparation for Assessment

HOW DOES ONE PREPARE FOR A PULL UP TEST?

• Work your Biceps and Lat's.  Work your Biceps using curls, work your Lat's doing the Lat Pull Down.
• Find a bar and hang from it.  Try to pull yourself up.  Do this every other day and you will see improvement
• Partials from the Top. Jump or stand on a box to get your chin over the bar. (Don't stress your arms out here - just get to the top position the easiest way you can.) Lower yourself 1/4 of the way down, then pull back up.
• Partials from the Bottom. Starting from dead hang, pull yourself up as far as you can, slowly lower.
• Jumping Pull-Up. Starting from full extension, give yourself as small a boost as you need to get  your chin over the bar.
