Once foundational pull-up details are practiced and familiar, switching the grip 50/50 allows for a few more quality reps, and also aids in development of all required “pullers”, often allowing those that use it to add more standard double-overhand pull-up- and underhand chin-up- to their total.
All pull-up positioning and mechanics still apply- arms straight, head neutral, hips tucked, no wiggling; We don’t change a game until we actually know the one we’re playing.

Precursors (all contained within this very Movement Library):
- Pull-up (minimum 5 excellent rep)
- Hollow rock (minimum 20 excellent reps)
We always recommend addressing each piece, before assembling the puzzle.
