Hi, I'm Mike Kammiston. I'm Director of Fitness at the Naval Special Warfare Center. Welcome to another video podcast where I'm going to share another little tidbit of training for you. Today I want to talk a little bit about doing pull-ups, which have to be done multiple times throughout the duration of buds. And so it's important to develop the necessary muscular endurance to be able to lift your body weight up off the ground many, many times. One of the training tips that I think that would benefit you is to learn proper technique and be sure to do all of your pull-ups with the proper range of motion. And so I'm going to come on over here to one of the pull-up bars and illustrate what I'm talking about. You want to make sure that you do the pull-ups from full extension of dead hang and bring yourself up to the bars so that your chin comes completely over to the top of the bar. And then when you come back down, it's important to resist gravity a little bit so that you don't just come down too quickly. Use that opportunity to resist gravity to challenge the muscles a little bit more. Going down to full extension and then coming up for another rep and then repeat that. Now of course when you're doing this for the PST, you would go a little bit quicker and not tire yourself out by resisting gravity. So that's a slightly different technique that you can practice from time to time. But to get maximum benefit, you want to challenge yourself not only by going up so that your chin's over the bar, but lowering yourself down with control, developing the strength and endurance that you're going to need to do all in the PST and to satisfy your instructors when you get the buds. It's been another training video podcast. Hope it's been helpful.
