Strict Pullup Tips

As many of you know I love my kettlebells, and Strong First is one of the programs and styles I use a lot for my overall strength and conditioning work with kettlebells.

Another area they focus on is proper bodyweight movement and this video above is breaking down some basic practices and skills you can apply to your training to better help you with those strict pullups.

Karen Smith (in the video) is Master SFG with Strong First and has some great tips for working toward your first or multiple strict pullups. The biggest tip I like at the end is "more time on the bar!"

Good luck with those pullups and stay tight and strong.
