Pike Pull-Ups is a drill that teaches students how to pull up from an inverted position. We teach this in our intermediate level aerial silk classes, once students are comfortable in their inverted pike. This drill helps with many skills including inverted climbs like Double Knee Climb and Creature Climb, and with inverted wrapped skills like Double Crucifix, Opposite Side Wrap, and more.
This drill can be used for conditioning or included as part of an aerial warm-up. It builds strength for stronger climbs and inverted skills.
