- Contraindications:
- None
- Equipment:
- Floor Based

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid shrugging at the top — the scapulae should stay depressed throughout.
- 2. Initiate from the shoulder blades, not from the biceps.
- 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
Regression:
Cable lat pulldown in the same movement path before transferring the pattern to bodyweight.
Progression:
Progress to a muscle-up or transition pull to a higher-level gymnastic skill.
Common Problems:
Grip fatigue limiting the set — use chalk or straps so lat strength, not grip, is the limiting factor.
