CONVICT CONDITIONING VOL.V MAXIMUM STRENGTH: 3JHE ONE-ARM PITLLUP SE R IE S
N U M B E R F O U R :
Pullups are very safe. Most acute injuries in the gym occur to the spine and particularly
lower back area. A lot of these come from back training, and bending over while hold
weights—deadlifts, rows and cleans can cause a lot of injuries this way. But because your feetoff the ground during harder pullups, there's minimal force going through your spine. Y
chances of a lower back injury d uring pullups a re virtually zilch.
We could go on, but that's a pretty impressive list. If you want m
information on pullup theory and anatomy, refer to the Con
Conditioning book, chapter seven. The bottom line: The pullup is
number-one upper back, bicep and pulling exercise. If it's not a part
your routine, you should include it—today! We're going to help you
iust that.

This effect means that one of the best grips for
more advanced pullups involves a slight angle. So
see if you can find a cambered pullup bar, or even
a station that allows you to perform pullups with
a hammer grip, which means the palms face eachother.
Using hanging rings is also a great option,
because it allows the hands to pronate freely; but
be aware that hanging rings require a lot of extra
strength because you need to stabilize their move
ment. The bottom line: get doing pullups and
experiment. Use what works for you—even if it's
different for each exercise.

When you perform any compound calisthenics exercise with your arms, like pullups, it's re
important to keep your shoulders "tight". What does this mean? It means pulling the tops of y
shoulders—the sockets—into your torso, and keeping them there. This isn't a huge movement; w
your arms are out, just tighten your back and lats to pull your shoulders down an inch or two.
This is a fundamental strength drill to learn. Your shoulders consist of ball-and-socket joi
Unlike hinge joints, like your knees, or gliding joints, likes your wrists, your shoulders ar
structurally locked into place. They are only held into place by a complex network of ligam
and soft tissue. Some athletes and bodybuilders like to fully extend their shoulders when t
straighten their arms under load, almost like they are stretching their shoulders out. This is a m
take. When you do pullups, or lift heavy weights, and allow your shoulders to stretch out u n
load, you increase the chance of dislocation, and risk irritating or injuring the soft tissue and
dons holding the shoulder in place. When you keep your shoulders down tight, the delicate j
becomes automatically stabilized and protected by a thick corset of muscle. So keep your shoders tight when you train, especially during pullups.

Often you hear about athletes performing "straight-arm", or "long-arm" pullups; meaning t
they descend all the way until their arms are straight. Although you should perform most of y
pullups using a full range-of-motion, when you hear that your arms should be straight, that's do
n't m ean tha t the elbows are locked. Locking your elbows under a heavy load can cause the joint
pinch, leading to soft tissue irritation, or even the chance of hyperextension of the joint. This is
a s true for pullups as it is for push ups. S o at the bottom of a pullup, straighten your arms, but alw
leave a slight kink at your elbows.

10 CONVICT CONDITIONING VOL.V MAXIMUM STRENGTH: THE ONE-ARM PUM,UP SERIES
There are a lot of opinions on just how
high you should lift your body during
pullups. Some people say lift until your
chest touches the bar, until your eyes go
over the bar, or whatever. The best indi
cator, and the one most often used in
prison training, is the chin. When your
chin passes over the bar, you've per
formed a rep. Like this.
Any less and the muscles aren't
worked to the full range. Pulling even
higher—until the chest or even the ster
num touch the bar—is harder, but it lim
its your ultimate strength potential,
because it shifts the focus of the exercise
from the stronger lateral muscles to the
smaller mid-back muscles. You don't
need to go this high. Getting your jaw
over the bar is perfect.

In order to work their torso muscles to the max, a lot of strength athletes and bodybuilders
the need to keep their elbows jammed out to the side when w orking o ut. You commonly see
with bench presses and shoulder presses, but it's something you sometimes see with pullups ,
Some very strong bodybuilders go so
far as to pull themselves up so that the
napes of their neck touch the bar before
they descend; this really forces the
elbows out. It's a lot like the opposite
version of a press-behind-neck, where
you pull down instead of pushing up.
The theory behind flaring your shoul
ders out is that the exaggerated positionforces extra pressure into the shoulders
and torso muscles. The reality is differ
ent. Pushing your elbows out is unnat
ural to the body; you protect your
joints more and generate more strength
when your shoulders are in a neutra
position, not necessarily next to the
torso, but certainly not jammed out to
the side. This is a subject that's covered
in depth in chapter ten of the ConvictConditioning book. The take home
message is that, during pullups, you
should allow your elbows to go where
they want. This will probably be fairly
close to your body, with your elbows
pointing out front or diagonal. This
kind of position is more na tural.

Why a t h l e t e smisunderstand p u l l u p s
So if the pullup is so great, why is it that so many trainees are skipping this movement inroutine? Well, there are two reasons. First, a lot of guys—either heavy people or beginners—
at classic pullups and think they're just too tough. These people may not yet be able to pull
own bodyweight. So they get intimidated by this exercise. Coming from the opposite angle,
advanced athletes see the pullup as too easy; they might be able to easily pull their weight
two hands, and turn to barbell exercises to provide more weight. Both these attitudes show a
of understanding of progressive calisthenics. When these trainees think of a "pullups", they

strongest men on the p lanet.
Convict Conditioningpullups/the t e n s t e p s
This is where Convict Conditioning comes in. The Convict Conditioning system takes ten o
best pullup-type movem ents, and p uts these techniques in orde r of difficulty. You start the syat the bottom, with a real easy exercise. Once you master that technique, you move to the
exercise, which is just a little harder, and so on . These exercises have been b roken up into a
stages, which is sometimes called the "ten steps". This is a key feature of the Co
Conditioning system. Without following some kind of structured, progressive approach, it w
be impossible for even the most naturally powerful athlete to achieve incredible feats like ass
pullups and one-arm pullups. Like all big achievements, you need to break these seemingly im
sible stunts into chunks.

next to each other. These form two steps in the series, but in reality if you wanted you could
