Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Lead the movement with elbows driving straight down, not flaring back.
  2. 2. Chin clears the bar at the top; avoid excessive neck extension or jutting.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Set a dead hang start — full shoulder elevation and scapular depression before initiating.

Regression:

Perform a bodyweight inverted row at a low bar to build the pulling pattern with reduced load.

Progression:

Add an L-sit or tuck position to increase core demand during the hang and pull.

Common Problems:

Shrugging at the top — cue retract and depress scapula before and during the pull. Kipping — require a dead stop at the bottom.
