I was reviewing the Tactical Pullup Standard:
Unfortunately I cannot post a video of me doing a Pullup as I live in an environment right now where I'm not allowed to take photos or videos.
I notice in my own Pullups that I'm lacking the "last 5%" to get my upper chest touching the bar on the top of the Pullup. As a regular deskworker the muscles in my back are probably to weak. Are there support exercise I can do, e.g. some kind of pulls with a resistance band, to strengthen and improve this specific motion?
- The student will grip the bar with an overhand thumbless grip. There is no restriction on the grip width.
- A chin-up grip (palms facing the student) is not allowed for the men but is for women.
- The student shall pause motionless in a dead hang, with the elbows locked, before each pullup and await the Judges command to begin the attempt. The knees and hips may be flexed.
- The elbows must be straight before each repetition with the bicep in line with the ear. (If a mobility issue limits the elbows straightening, the student must notify the instructor prior to the set.)
- The student shall pull up without kipping or swinging.
- The neck (as defined by clearing the jawline not the underside of the chin) must clear the bar or the upper chest must touch the bar on the top of the pullup. The body should maintain a near vertical orientation.
