WHAT IS IT

The High Pull drives a barbell, dumbbell or kettlebell from the floor or hang to chest height with the elbows high. It trains the hip extension and upper-back pull that power the sled pull and the clean.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Stand over the weight with a flat back and the hands just outside the knees.
  2. 2Drive through the legs and extend the hips hard.
  3. 3As the hips open, shrug and pull the elbows up and out.
  4. 4Bring the weight to chest height with the elbows above the hands.
  5. 5Lower it along the same path and reset for each rep.
