For our pull-up enthusiasts -

This is a cross between a pull-up and an inverted row:

One arm:

Can be performed with underhand or overhand grip.

This is an exercise taken out of Paul Zaichik’s bodyweight seminars as well as from the Power of One book. This move was originally developed by Paul to bridge the gap between the bodyweight row and the pull-ups. At the same time this exercise counter balances the Tiger Pushup. Together the two exercises are referred to as the Beast Master Pair.

Another benefit of this exercise is that it can be performed on the doorway where a pull-up bar is not available. To do this exercise you need to find a bar or some stable object placed a foot or two in front of the wall. You are to hold onto the object and place your feet flat on the wall. The starting position is with arms and legs extended. From there you would pull up and bring your chest to the bar.
 
This bugger is a toughy! Toughie? However you spell it! Very cool exercise, don't ya think?

I asked SNM if this could be done on their new pull-up tower - waiting for a reply.

I kind of doubt it, unless in the beginning positiion you are actually seated on the floor. And I'd be wary of stability (it looks like whatever pull-up device is used must be well weighted down in order to not tip over).
