SIDE PULL

As the name implies, this arm position involves pulling inward on a hold that’s out to your side and facing away from your body. This position places your arm in a naturally strong position, and thus difficulties in using side pulls often relate to poor body position and foot placement (bad technique) rather than lack of strength. Consequently, the most effective methods of training the side-pull position are those that involve actual climbing. For example, System Wall Training (described later in this chapter) provides highly specific training that fosters improvements in body position and use of the feet while side pulling. Similarly, climbing a gym route using only side-pull arm positions and the associated body and foot techniques is a highly effective form of isolation training.
