This thread is for variations on normal workouts, that either make them "better" or work different groups of muscles.
One of my favorites-
Pole vaulter style pull ups-
Hang from the bar, and raise legs towards the sky, so that your abs to legs make a 90 degree angle towards the sky, pull up until your chest touches the bar. Extend your legs all the way out, until you are perpindicular to the ground(or as close as you can get). Lower back into 90 degree angle, lower yourself from the bar, repeat.
