I know the name Pavel has become synonymous with anal locking, but what exactly is anal locking? Can someone give me a brief overview of the subject?
I read that anal locking is good for one-arm pullups or other physical feats of this nature. Does anyone have experience in this area?
Thanks for your help.[/quote]

All it means is contracting your glutes. Like other ‘high-tension’ techniques, like bracing your core, squeezing the bar, flexing your lats to create a ‘lat shelf’, it will help you grind through heavy lifts.

I think it’s like a head lock, just on the other end.

Bang on.
Incidently, he’s not the only one to recommend it.
