Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Chin clears the bar at the top; avoid excessive neck extension or jutting.
- 2. Avoid shrugging at the top — the scapulae should stay depressed throughout.
- 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 4. Breathing: inhale at the dead hang, exhale as you drive elbows to hips.
Regression:
Eccentric-only pull-ups: jump to the top position and lower in a slow 5-count.
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.
