Rope-pullup (eccentric, unilateral-emphasis)
BAS pull (vertical)
•
2m 23s
THE WHAT:
An eccentric context (i.e. way-down, only) toward developing vertical pulling with a rope. The overcoming-pull is performed with a UNILATERAL emphasis, namely letting the TOP arm (that which goes through the greatest range of motion) take as much of the load as possible. The bottom hand/arm, then, assists as MINIMALLY as possible in controlling the eccentric tempo.
As the hands are brought progressively further apart, the unilateral quality of the pull is emphasised as assistance-potential becomes less and less. Whilst this ‘eccentric’ context is largely used to develop experience toward performing the full ‘Rope-pullup’, then, it can also be used specifically as a tool to develop UNILATERAL vertical-pulling.

Rope-pullup (bilateral pulling)
THE WHAT:
Bilateral, vertical-pulling practiced with a rope. Whilst it can be taken as a development context from time spent with the 'Unilateral-emphasis eccentrics' context, as long as the minimum of a single, chest-to-rope pull performed at a controlled tempo is available (ideally with SUBMAXI... -
Legless rope-climb (conditioning)
THE WHAT:
A potent conditioning drill in the context of vertical-pulling which relies on UNIFICATION of grip & forearm strength, integrity of elbow-flexor connective tissues, and maximal pulling power of the biceps and full upper-body. If there is a "weak-link" here it will be exposed, if not imm... -

THE WHAT:
The 'Archer' serves as a progressive form for developing both the patterning & capacity of more unilateral, 1-arm pulling. It takes its name from the image in the top position of an archer drawing the string of their bow close to their body (the flexed/"working" arm), whilst the other h...
