HOW TO NAIL AN EXPLOSIVE PULL-UP:

Start in a hanging pull-up position.
As you begin the pull-up, accelerate your body so you get some momentum.
At the top of the pull-up, keep the momentum going and as your head and shoulders pass the bar, let go of the bar.
As your body starts to return to the ground, grab back onto the bar and control your descent back to a hanging position.

Here are two modifications that will help you progress into a full blown explosive pull-up:

PULL-UP + REACH

Start in the same position as above but once you accelerate to the top of the pull-up, let go with only one hand and reach it above the bar. On your descent, grab the bar with both hands and control yourself back into a hang.  

PULL-UP + RELEASE

Begin in the same hanging position, but once you accelerate to the top of the pull-up, relax your grip on the bar with both hands (but keep your hands in-line and palms on the bar in the release). Wrap your fingers back around the bar on your descent and return to the hang. 

Mastering the explosive pull-up will help you develop upper body strength and grip strength to conquer some of the most difficult obstacles at your next Goal!
