Old Forum Bodyweight workout question?

[broseanrichard]

If  a person had no access at all to a pull-up bar or anything to pull up on is there any bodyweight or kettlebell exercise that would build up what a pull up does

Sean, not exactly, but the one-arm pushup done our way goes a long way to strengthening your lats.

Sean, you can also focus  on pulling the kettlebell down in the negative of a military press.  This will also fire the lat and bicep with the bonus of saving your pressing muscles.

Google for horizontal rows and watch those performed with the TRX or the Lifeline Jungle Gym. You don't have to buy them, just improvise with nylon straps or ropes.

Also wall pullups (hanging from a wall ledge)
