Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Lead the movement with elbows driving straight down, not flaring back.
- 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 4. Chin clears the bar at the top; avoid excessive neck extension or jutting.
Regression:
Eccentric-only pull-ups: jump to the top position and lower in a slow 5-count.
Progression:
Add a 3-second eccentric on the way down. Progress to weighted pull-ups with a belt.
Common Problems:
Incomplete range — chin must clear the bar; if not, substitute an easier variation until strength catches up.
