A lot of the athletes we get are pretty weak when they first arrive. Some can barely do a pull-up. There are certain bodyweight progressions they can go through to build that up instead of doing 10 sets of 1 jumping pull-ups. We have our athletes perform inverted rows and bodyweight scarecrows to really improve their upper back strength. Here is a video demonstrating those two movements.
The inverted row with feet elevated is a progression from feet down. Once they get strong at that we can add weight to it with chains or a weight vest.
The scarecrows shown are being performed with 40lbs of weight and are an advanced version of the bodyweight scarecrow.
P.S. Pictures of the new building will be up today and weights will be moved in.
