Evolution of Pullups
24
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Today I’m going to show you the evolution of pull-ups, going from a beginner style to the hardest kind you can do. If you are new to pull-ups and cant do any actual pull-ups, you want to start with an inverted row. You will be underneath a bar and rowing your chest up to the bar. It’s a great way to start. You can do a beginner version of inverted rows by bending your knees. Hold onto the bar with an overhand grip. Keep your hips up and pull your chest up to the bar. Squeeze your shoulder blades at the top. This will help strengthen the muscles between your shoulder blades, the back of your shoulders and your lats. Once you are a little stronger, you can straighten your legs out, switch to an underhand grip. This will work your biceps more. For underhand inverted rows, you will have more of a narrow grip and pull your chest to the bar. Next well switch back to an overhand grip and back to a wider grip. This is back to working the muscles at the back of the shoulder blades and between the shoulder blades. You can put your feet up on a stability ball to give you more of a challenge. Those are all inverted row variations to get you started. Next are assisted pull-ups and chin-ups. You need to take the bar of your squat rack and set it up about head height. You will be doing the pull-up and chin-up movement, but you will still be standing on the floor. This is for beginners as well. Simply work as much as possible …

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT www.turbulencetraining.com With Reconstruction workout C, you’ll actually be doing a 10-exercise bodyweight circuit Challenge where you go through the circuit as many times as you can in 20 minutes. The Challenge has two levels; one for beginner and one for advanced. If you are a beginner, then you will perform 10 repetitions for each exercise, whereas an advanced individual will perform double that at 20 repetitions per exercise. So, you’ll start out by placing your hands up behind you head and complete a series of Prisoner squats. Get your elbows back, squeeze your shoulder blades together, feet slightly wider than hip width apart, and then push your hips out as you squat down and then back up. Repeat. After the Prisoner squats you’ll go down to the ground for Close-Grip push-ups. So, for this exercise place your hands shoulder width apart and elbows tucked into the side. Next up are Stability Ball Leg Curls. Be sure to bridge those hips up and then curl in and out. Once you are finished doing that exercise, keep the stability ball with you as you are now going to do 1-Legged Jackknives. If you are doing 10 repetitions, that means 10 in total, so 5 for one leg and then 5 with the other. If you are a beginner or you can’t do the 1-Legged Jackknives, then just do regular stability ball jackknives. Also, these can be done with either your hands on the bench or on the floor. Now you’ll stand back up and do Diagonal Lunges. Proper form for this …
