Bulgarian L Pull-Up
The Bulgarian L Pull-Up builds additional stability in the shoulder girdle by forcing the athlete to stabilize movement without the benefit of resting arms along the torso. The added L shape taxes the abdominals and hip flexors, making this compound movement more challenging.

Bulgarian L Pull-Up
- Begin in a hanging L on gymnastic rings and begin to perform a pull-up.
- As soon as your elbows bend, pull the rings apart.
- Continue pulling up until your hands are level with and wider than your shoulders, keeping the L shape.
- Do not allow your elbows to drift in front of your body line as you pull.
- At the top, your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor.
- Lower with control and repeat for reps, keeping your legs parallel to the floor, hips at 90-degrees, at all times.
