Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 2. Set a dead hang start — full shoulder elevation and scapular depression before initiating.
- 3. Lower under full control to the dead hang — do not drop.
- 4. Breathing: inhale at the dead hang, exhale as you drive elbows to hips.
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:
Grip fatigue limiting the set — use chalk or straps so lat strength, not grip, is the limiting factor.
