Description:

V-Pull Ups are advanced upper body exercises that combine the elements of a v-sit and a pull up.  V-pull ups are designed to strengthen the upper body, while simultaneously firing up the core and hip flexors.  In order to perform this exercise with the most efficiency, a solid pike flexibility is required.  Scale by performing L-pull ups.

Process:

• begin in a hang on a bar
• engage core and bend body at the waist to lift legs up until they are close to the upper body
• bend elbows to lift body up until chin is in line with the bar
• maintain body position and control as you lower yourself to return to the starting position
