Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Breathing: inhale at the dead hang, exhale as you drive elbows to hips.
- 2. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 3. A thumbless grip can help better feel lat engagement over bicep dominance.
- 4. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
Regression:
Cable lat pulldown in the same movement path before transferring the pattern to bodyweight.
Progression:
Increase grip difficulty: towel grip, thick bar, or single-arm progression.
Common Problems:
Shrugging at the top — cue retract and depress scapula before and during the pull. Kipping — require a dead stop at the bottom.
