pull-ups
COMPARE TO
ELASTIC BANDS
Low resistance during the catch and pull phases (the most important phases for power generation)
High resistance during exit phase (making it largely a tricep workout)
Can't train recovery stroke (often a big limiting factor in endurance)
Can't train strength
COMPARE TO
SWIMMING
Swim stroke mechanics are different because of body roll
Surfing uses an arched back position
Recovery stroke (what kills your shoulders) isn't trained properly
It's a hassle going to the pool
Average gym w/ pool membership = $50 monthly / $600 annually
Can't train strength
COMPARE TO
PULL-UPS
Doesn't simulate paddle stroke
Primarily trains lats, without training chest (crucial in surfing)
Doesn't train proper body position
Doesn't train recovery stroke (what really tires you out)
