Cannon Ball Pull Ups: “Using the cannonballs is exactly what makes this pull-up variation a beast.  By holding a ball in each hand, you’ll have to keep your wrist flexed the entire time.  The tension created in the wrists and into the forearms helps develop serious pulling strength.

You’ll instantly notice the tension created in your hands is carried across your arms into your upper back.  You’ll create much more stability and contraction throughout the movement”. - Muscle & Fitness

Banded C2B Chin Ups - 1x12 then 1x10

“I haven’t seen much out there by the way of banding the legs for CHIN UPS & PULL UPS. However, here’s why I think it may be a good move:

First, remember that the chains of fascia that go down the lat muscles, go across the lumbar region and go through the opposing glute and hamstrings. Why not pre-engage the glutes to reinforce this, by applying outward force ago against a bands resistance? I believe this can trigger a grater and more contracted stimulation for the target regions of the posterior chain. 


Second, doing this forces the litter to use stricter form. The attention to outward form forced the lifter from excessive kipping or otherwise “cheating”. - Coach Lee Boyce
