23.05.07 High-Pulls, Floor decline press, Turkish Getups
My right arm is getting better and better, and it felt like it was ready for some tough love
The choice of exercises were Kettlebell High-Pulls alternated with Decline Floor Presses

Kettlebell High-Pulls:

24 kg, 10/10, 10 sets = 100 reps

Decline Floor Press:

2 x 24 kg, 10 reps, 10 sets = 100 reps

Thereafter I performed one of my favorite exercises, the Turkish Getup:

Turkish Getups:

24 kg, 2/2 B2B, 8 sets (no break between sets) = 32 reps

How to perform the high-pull

The High-Pull is an exercise, that starts with a swing, and right before the arm is horizantal, you pull your elbow backwards by activating your rhomboids, rear deltoids and lats explosively, followed by a forward thrust like a cross in boxing.
I perform this exercise unilateral because it creates high demands on your ability to stabilize your entire upper body

What are the benefits and who should do the high-pull?

I find this particular exercise very appropriate for athletes involved in contactsports, such as grapplers and martial artists in general, but also soccer-, handball- and basketballplayers etc. will improve their ability to keep the opponent away. By increasing this kind of strength, the athlete will free more mental energy and focus, which can be used more effectively on tactics etc.

Thats it rangers.
