- Exercise Types:
- Upper Pull, Upper Push
- Contraindications:
- Shoulder Issues/Mobility
- Equipment:
- Bar
- Applicability:
- Group
- Superset?:
- Yes
- Sprint-able?:
- Yes
Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Chin clears the bar at the top; avoid excessive neck extension or jutting.
- 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 3. Create full-body tension: squeeze glutes, brace core, point toes.
Regression:
Cable lat pulldown in the same movement path before transferring the pattern to bodyweight.
Progression:
Add an L-sit or tuck position to increase core demand during the hang and pull.
Common Problems:
Grip fatigue limiting the set — use chalk or straps so lat strength, not grip, is the limiting factor.
