Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid shrugging at the top — the scapulae should stay depressed throughout.
- 2. Lower under full control to the dead hang — do not drop.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
- 4. Lead the movement with elbows driving straight down, not flaring back.
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.
