Event 2A: PULL-UPS
(Men & Women)
The candidate must mount the bar with a pronated grip (back of hands facing
the candidate) and his/her thumbs under the bar. The candidate starts from
a momentary pause in a straight-arm hang with elbows locked (Figure 3).
On the examiner's command "GO," the candidate pulls his/her body
upward until his/her chin is parallel to the ground and above the bar (Figure
4). The candidate returns to the straight-arm hang position with elbows
locked and repeats this pull-up movement as many times as possible. The
body must be held approximately straight. If the candidate kicks his/her
way up, the pull-up involved will not be counted.
Before giving the command "Go," the examiner should ensure the candidate's elbows are fully extended and shoulders are relaxed in a "dead hang." If a candidate needs to use a chair to grip the bar, pull the chair away and take the time to ensure the candidate is in a straight-armed, relaxed shoulder "dead hang" before beginning. Do not allow candidates to jump off the ground or a chair to gain momentum for the first repetition. Require a short "dead hang" period before giving the "GO" command.
On the command "GO," start the event. When the candidate’s chin rises above the bar and is parallel to the ground, verbally announce the repetition number (i.e, 1, 2, 3, …). The verbal repetition number is the candidate's cue to start the downward movement. When the candidate’s arms are fully extended in a dead hang position, give the command "UP". The examiner must monitor each repetition to ensure the Candidate's chin is parallel to the floor and over the bar in the "up" position and that the arms are fully extended in the "down" position.
If a candidate reaches the maximum number of repetitions in less than two minutes (18 for men; 7 for women), give the command "STOP" and record the maximum score. Otherwise, give the command "Stop" at the end of two-minutes and record the number of correctly executed repetitions.
The examiner may steady the Candidate when they at the resting/dead hang
position by extending an "arm bar" in front of the Candidate,
but must not be touching the candidate when they are attempting a pull-up.
