Jumping Pull-Up

1. Stand beneath a pull-up bar: The bar should be just out of reach or at a height where you can barely touch it with extended arms while standing flat-footed.

2. Assume a shoulder-width stance, keeping your feet flat on the ground.

3. Reach up and grab the pull-up bar with an overhand grip (palms facing away from you) slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your arms should be fully extended.

4. Bend your knees slightly, prepare to jump, and brace your core muscles.

5. Explosively jump upwards, using the momentum to help you begin the pull-up motion.

6. As you are in the air, pull your body upwards toward the bar by bending your elbows and driving them towards your ribs. The goal is to bring your chin above the bar.

7. At the top of the movement, pause briefly before lowering yourself back down in a controlled manner to the starting position.

8. Reset your stance if necessary and prepare for the next repetition.

Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent any injuries and to get the most benefit out of the movement. The jumping pull-up is intended to help those who are working toward doing regular pull-ups by allowing some assistance from the legs while still engaging the upper body muscles vigorously.
