Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Engage the lats by thinking about pulling the shoulder blades toward the back pockets.
- 2. Lead the movement with elbows driving straight down, not flaring back.
- 3. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 4. Initiate from the shoulder blades, not from the biceps.
Regression:
Perform a bodyweight inverted row at a low bar to build the pulling pattern with reduced load.
Progression:
Increase grip difficulty: towel grip, thick bar, or single-arm progression.
Common Problems:
Incomplete range — chin must clear the bar; if not, substitute an easier variation until strength catches up.
