Pull Up Mate – More than Just Pull Ups!

7 Mins Read

You might think that pull up mate is only for pull ups. That’d make sense, right? Wrong.

This is a pretty reasonable mistake to make – it’s really a mobile, complete calisthenics workout partner. It’s a system for every single movement type that you could expect in calisthenics and bodyweight training.

Giant Set: L-Sit Pull Up, Dips, Close Grip Inverted Row and Press Ups.
We challenge Mark Crawshaw (AKA @TheTenthYard ) to learn the Human Flag within just 1 month using the Pull Up Mate 2. It's a very steep learning curve for someone with low core strength and high body mass, but having just shown us all how easy muscle ups are, we thought he'd be up for the challenge of the human flag.The human flag is one of the most impressive calisthenics movements. It requires strength in all areas of the body; arms, shoulders and hand grip, core strength, and even lower body strength and stability is required to make it work. Getting your body horizontal, though, is just the first step. Holding a horizontal plane is very tough on the core, and requires extensive training.So how do you get there? What do you need to do to learn the human flag?1. Start with the basics. Core strength is vital, and most of us start with relatively low muscle development in this area. Begin with side planks, training both sides of your body. Progress to side plank raises, and possibly work on leg raises as well in this position to improve stability.2. Begin working on combining grip stability with leg raises, getting your body used to the movement. While holding the vertical bar with one hand and the horizontal bar with the other, leave one foot on the floor and raise the other in reps to failure. Alternate sides to balance muscle development. Keep your shoulders parallel to the vertical bar, otherwise you're not working hard enough!3. 4:40 Now we can start looking at the initial movement that will bring your body into position for the human flag. These half-reps help develop stability and muscle memory for the initial movement, as well as develop core and grip for the human flag. Follow these reps up with tucked rotations, allowing you to bring more of your body up to the horizontal position. We're doing this with a staggered grip; so one hand is now on the top bar of the Pull Up Mate, the other on the vertical bar. This is much easier than having both hands on the vertical bar, as we're using leverage to assist the core in bringing your body off the ground.4. Over the next few weeks keep practicing these progressive exercises to develop the necessary strength in your grip and core. Combine them with other core exercises like sit up variations and crunches to help things along. For grip development, practice dead hangs with grip variations, and adding weight where you can.*************Secure online ordering.
