  1. Low Pulls

  2. Set Up • We will perform this movement from an hang or above knee position

  3. Eccentric Phase • The first phase of movement will set up just as you would doing an RDL • Hip hinge back until the knees are over the ankles, this would put the bar just above the knees

  4. Concentric Phase • While keeping the same knee bend, push the knees and hips forward while bringing the shoulders up • Rather than finishing the movement of the hip hinge, we are going to change the force into a vertical explosion

  5. Vertical Extension • When the knees are over the top of the shoe laces and the hips are starting to come back under the body, we are then in position to extend vertically • To extend, press the heals through the ground and extend the knees vertically • This quick extension will allow us to leave the ground even with a loaded bar

  6. Vertical Extension • When you leave the ground, your foot will be in planter flexion (toes down), but the force must come from the posterior chain and then the quadriceps • The pull on the extension has to take place before the knees get to the toes so that you don’t cut off the posterior chain

  7. Bar Path • During the entire movement, the bar need to remain tight to the body • Bar separation causes added pressure to the lumbar spine and less leverage to control the weight • Arms will remain straight during the pull. The shoulders can elevate during the pull.
