Key Teaching Points:
- 1. A thumbless grip can help better feel lat engagement over bicep dominance.
- 2. Chest to the bar on a full pull-up; sternum to the anchor on a ring row.
- 3. Initiate from the shoulder blades, not from the biceps.
Regression:
Use a resistance band looped under the knees for assistance, or substitute ring rows with feet on the floor.
Progression:
Progress to a muscle-up or transition pull to a higher-level gymnastic skill.
Common Problems:
Shrugging at the top — cue retract and depress scapula before and during the pull. Kipping — require a dead stop at the bottom.
