The isometric mid-thigh pull involves isometrically loading the grip, shoulders, feet, quads, and hips by pulling a bar against safety bars or a rack at mid-thigh height.

“So what you usually start with is really long hold isometrics. So we put you in these different positions and find ways to resist that and pull and create stiffness and remodel those tendons. So, we're essentially making those parts ready to start going into the danger zone. That is explosive powerful movement, right? I don't I shouldn't say danger zone as much as I should say like a higher risk risk zone. So, these heavy overcoming isometrics they call them. Uh, one of my favorites is that mid thigh pull.”

“That sets all these tendons up. And you just do this with a super super heavy loaded bar that's too big for you to lift. Not necessarily. You can actually do an empty bar, but you pull it up against the safety bars or the rack or something like that. Isometric thigh pull is the thing to look up. But there's a lot of ways to load these heavy isometrics because that gets your tissues ready”
