- Exercise Type:
- Upper Pull
- Contraindications:
- Shoulder Issues/Mobility, Wrist Problems
- Equipment:
- Dumbbell
- Applicability:
- Group&Focus
- Superset?:
- No
- Sprint-able?:

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Initiate from the shoulder blades, not from the biceps.
- 2. The elbow path determines which muscles work most — experiment deliberately.
- 3. Lower under full control to the dead hang — do not drop.
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:
Incomplete range — chin must clear the bar; if not, substitute an easier variation until strength catches up.
