Bodyweight Pavel Best Pull Article?

[watchnerd]

In the Best Press Exercise article, Pavel writes:

"In the next issue of this blog, in addition to nominating the “best” upper body pull, I will explain why I did not subdivided presses into “horizontal” and “vertical.”

Was this pull article written?

If so, I can't seem to find it.

Perhaps the pandemic caused it to be back-burnered...

@Steve Freides do you have any insight?

Is this:

The Best Upper Body Pull | StrongFirst

This one is going to be simple. There is only one contender for best upper body pull — a hollow position pull-up, strict and heavy.

FWIW, I found it using Google to search like this

The Best Hip Hinge Exercise | StrongFirst

The kettlebell swing is hands down the best hip hinge exercise. Here is my analysis of the possible exercises, and why the swing wins out.

Thanks, but the "Best Press" article was written in 2019, and that upper body pull article is written in 2013.

Unless I misunderstood what he meant when he said "in the next issue of this blog", I would assume it would have to be a more recent article.

Perhaps it hasn't been written yet.

Best Press article is from 2012, no?

I'm apparently an idiot and can't read.

Thanks!

Yes, I'm an idiot with poor reading skills.

Somehow my brain say December 2019.

Please feel free to delete the whole thread.

Or... we could use this thread to discuss the topic.

My favorite pull is the heavy double kettlebell clean, which is a hinge and an upper body pull at the same time.

Ring pull ups and deadlift are wonderful indeed, but they are... less complete (if you know what I mean).

@Harald Motz Motz mentioned this podcast episode on insta:

The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts: Ryan Flaherty (#238) - The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss

Please enjoy this transcript of my interview with Ryan Flaherty, senior director of Performance at Nike. Transcripts may contain a few typos—with some episodes lasting 2+ hours, it’s difficult to catch some minor errors. Enjoy! Listen to the interview here or by selecting any of the options...

Ryan Flaherty (Nike Performance Center) argues that the best pull is the hex bar deadlift - at least for speed development.
