- None
- Equipment:
- Bar, Floor Based

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 2. Initiate from the shoulder blades, not from the biceps.
- 3. Chin clears the bar at the top; avoid excessive neck extension or jutting.
Regression:
Perform a bodyweight inverted row at a low bar to build the pulling pattern with reduced load.
Progression:
Add an L-sit or tuck position to increase core demand during the hang and pull.
Common Problems:
Grip fatigue limiting the set — use chalk or straps so lat strength, not grip, is the limiting factor.
