Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Avoid shrugging at the top — the scapulae should stay depressed throughout.
- 3. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 4. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
Regression:
Perform a bodyweight inverted row at a low bar to build the pulling pattern with reduced load.
Progression:
Add a 3-second eccentric on the way down. Progress to weighted pull-ups with a belt.
Common Problems:
Grip fatigue limiting the set — use chalk or straps so lat strength, not grip, is the limiting factor.
