Explosive Pullup Types
In this post we’ll see some of the best explosive Pull-up types:
.
1. Width grip switch-ups
This exercise combines a shoulder adduction with a shoulder extension.
Start every pull-up from dead hang.
Try not to kip or swing.
This exercise works:
· Shoulder adductors and extensors
· Elbow flexors
· Finger and wrist flexors
.
.
2. Switch-ups
Switch between a Chin-up and a shoulder width Pull-up.
By mixing a supinated grip with a pronated grip you’ll be focusing equally on biceps and brachialis.
Start every rep from dead hang. Avoid using momentum.

3. Mixed grip Switch-ups
You can also do explosive Pull-ups using a mixed grip. Start with a mixed grip and switch between grips.

4. L Switch-ups
When you get stronger, you can practice these pull-ups with your body in an L-shape.
The body in “L” places the center of mass forward, thus decreasing the leverage at the shoulder (which makes them more difficult).
Start every pull-up from dead hang. In order to get stronger, avoid using momentum/kip.
This exercise works your shoulder extensors & adductors, elbow flexors, hip flexors, abs and quadriceps.

5. V Switch-ups
If you’re flexible enough, you can also practice these pull-ups with your body in a V-shape.
This variation builds stronger hip flexors and abs than the L version (there is more flexion at the hip and more flexion of the lumbar spine).
Don’t bend your knees and keep your toes pointed.
Start every pull-up from dead hang.
.
6. Clapping Pull-ups
These pull-ups require a lot of vertical pulling power, as long as you don’t use momentum or kip. Start every pull-up from dead hang.
This exercise mainly works your lats, brachialis and biceps brachii.
