Coach Myers Wrestling S&C: How To Build Explosive Pulling Power
Oct 13, 2020
Using bands for accommodated resistance on key exercises is one of the cornerstones of my training program. As the band stretches, the tension becomes greater, forcing you to explode through the range of motion. Programmed band work will help your athletes develop speed and power.
Check out this video to learn a simple way to set up bands for speed pull-ups.
Rx: 3 sets of 5-8 reps or until the pull feels "slow."
Want to incorporate these into an upper body power superset? Try contrasting a set of these speed pulls with a set of plyo push-ups.
