Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Monitor for impingement symptoms — any pinching signals too much too soon.
  2. 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  3. 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  4. 4. Full shoulder elevation followed by active scapular depression at the dead hang.

Regression:

Perform a partial hang with feet on the floor, reducing the percentage of bodyweight supported.

Progression:

Increase hang duration progressively. Add a light plate on the feet once 60 seconds is achieved consistently.

Common Problems:

Swinging instead of staying still — tighten the core and glutes to dampen any oscillation.
