- Exercise Type:
- Upper Pull
- Contraindications:
- Wrist Problems
- Equipment:
- Floor Based
- Applicability:
- Group
- Superset?:
- No
- Sprint-able?:
- No
Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Chin clears the bar at the top; avoid excessive neck extension or jutting.
- 2. The elbow path determines which muscles work most — experiment deliberately.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
Regression:
Eccentric-only pull-ups: jump to the top position and lower in a slow 5-count.
Progression:
Increase grip difficulty: towel grip, thick bar, or single-arm progression.
Common Problems:
Grip fatigue limiting the set — use chalk or straps so lat strength, not grip, is the limiting factor.
