pullhighDuring my mostly core day at the gym today I did high explosive pull ups instead of the mundane variety.  The goal is to explosively pull as high as you can.  Of course much more energy is put into each rep so the rep numbers are low.  Good high pulls are one of the building blocks of muscle ups.
