Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathing: inhale at the dead hang, exhale as you drive elbows to hips.
  2. 2. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  3. 3. A thumbless grip can help better feel lat engagement over bicep dominance.
  4. 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.
