Height Device For High Pulls

Disclaimer: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FORM OF HIGH PULLS TO EVERYONE
One of my bigger struggles in the lifts and one of the major reasons I bombed at the American Open is an ability to keep the bar close to me during the second and third pull. This comes from an explosive horizontal hip extension into the bar AND a lack of using the arms to pull under the bar in the third pull. This bad habit will often show up when I do pulls and reinforce the poor bar track.
To counteract this I do high pulls to a height device. I set a device of some sort at my sternum height and only count the reps that hit that device. At Spoon Barbell we use a metal pole attached to a device that we can changed the height of. To be honest it’s really old, rigged, and has a ton of “character.” The best way I have found to pull this off in a normal gym is to set J-hooks at sternum height and stretch a band across the J-hooks. The goal then is to hit the band with the bar when you do the high pulls. If you don’t hit the band then the rep doesn’t count and if you miss multiple times in a row then it’s best to drop the weight. I personally will attach my keys to the band so that I can hear my bar hit the band when it does.
The goal for this exercise is not necessarily to focus on getting the bar high enough but instead to focus on pushing off from the ground when the bar reaches the hips AND keeping the bar close from the power position to triple extension. Do not use this to focus on pulling and shrugging the bar up to your sternum but allow the force applied at the hips to be the power source.
Here’s a video example of that movement.nSnatch High Pull To Height Device
