Step
Applicability:

Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Set a dead hang start — full shoulder elevation and scapular depression before initiating.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 3. Initiate from the shoulder blades, not from the biceps.
  4. 4. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

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:

Grip fatigue limiting the set — use chalk or straps so lat strength, not grip, is the limiting factor.
