Contraindications:
Shoulder Issues/Mobility, Knee Problems
Equipment:
Step
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Lead the movement with elbows driving straight down, not flaring back.
  2. 2. Lower under full control to the dead hang — do not drop.
  3. 3. Avoid shrugging at the top — the scapulae should stay depressed throughout.
  4. 4. Initiate from the shoulder blades, not from the biceps.

Regression:

Cable lat pulldown in the same movement path before transferring the pattern to bodyweight.

Progression:

Progress to a muscle-up or transition pull to a higher-level gymnastic skill.

Common Problems:

Bicep dominance over lats — cue elbows to hips and experiment with a wider grip.
