Anyone do high pulls???

[b fold the truth]

I did them today with a rev grip...with the bar almost sitting on top of my feet...trying to simulate the tire flip.

Anyone else do these...?

High pulls? I'm trying to figure out what you mean. I do high pulls on back day, Monday, but I do them on the Hammer Strength High Pull machine. I don't see how it will get the tire flip up though. I think we are talking about 2 different things. I gotta go eat I'll be back in 1\2 hour.

Like an explosive deadlift...with a shrug at the top. Very very explosive. Lots of olympic lifters do them to help increase their clean and their snatch.

Now I know we are talking about 2 different things. That sounds almost like a power clean but with a reverse grip. I picture this in my head and I can see it now helping your tire flip. You keep it up and you will take the whole contest next year!

ive done them before with a snatch like grip, it really fried my traps. I should do them again.

high pulls are like a clean but wihtout getting under the bar and front squating it correct??

like a power shrug and upright row, then the bar back down???

I do high pulls occasionally since I also do clean and snatch. They are a great way to build explosive power.
