GOT INJURED DURING PULL UPS CHALLENGE 💪🏼 | CIRQUE DU SOLEIL 🎪

Pull Ups 💪🏼 - is an upper-body strength exercise. It's a basic exercise in many sports and activities and of course in Cirque du Soleil. This exercise is a part of artist's fitness evaluation test. The pull-up is a closed-chain movement where the body is suspended by the hands, gripping a bar or other implement at a distance typically wider than shoulder-width, and pulled up. As this happens, the elbows flex and the shoulders adduct and extend to bring the elbows to the torso.

Pull-ups are used by some organizations as a component of fitness tests, and as a conditioning activity for some sports.

Pull-ups are a common way to measure upper body strength, endurance, and strength-to-weight ratio. The strength to do a pull-up is correlated with job-related tasks in some careers such as firefighting, police, and military.

Pull-ups are used as a conditioning activity for many sports, especially those that require pulling strength, including rock climbing, gymnastics, rope climbing, rowing, and swimming. They are also used by police and military to increase muscular strength among their members.

FYI...

The Guinness World Record for the most consecutive pull-ups was set by Japan Coast Guard diver Kenta Adachi in 2022 with 651 pull-ups, taking 87 minutes. The Guinness World Record for the maximum amount of weight added to a weighted pull-up was set by David Marchante of Spain in 2016, with 104.55 kilograms (230.5 lb)

Since we didn't do any challenges since our Plank Challenge    • WORLD LONGEST PLANK COMPETITION 😱 | CIRQUE...  
I decided to organize another challenge - MAX PULLUPS CHALLENGE.
So for us it was more a fun activity to challenge ourself between artists and not only artists - we had our accountant Eric ☝🏼

Check out who'll be the winner 🏆

Here’s how to do a pull-up with the correct technique:

Start by standing directly below a pull-up bar. Place your hands in an overhand grip (palms facing away from your body) with your hands slightly further than shoulder-width apart. If you can’t reach the bar from standing on the floor, you can place a box beneath you and stand on that. Once your hands are holding onto the bar, you’re in your starting position.
Inhale, then exhale. Lift your feet up from the floor or box so that you’re hanging from the bar, and engage your core by pulling your belly button in toward your spine. Pull your shoulders back and down.
Engaging the muscles in your arms and back, bend your elbows and raise your upper body up toward the bar until your chin is over the bar. You can imagine bringing your elbows toward your hips if that makes the movement easier. As you move, avoid swinging your legs around or shrugging your shoulders up. You want to make sure your shoulder blades remain back and down throughout the exercise.
At the top of the movement, inhale. Then extend your elbows and lower your body back down to the starting position.
This movement might not be possible for you to perform on your first attempt — which is totally OK (and very common!). If you can’t perform a pull-up like this off-the-bat, then you can perform exercise progressions to gradually increase your strength, until you get there.
