Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Lower under full control to the dead hang — do not drop.
- 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
- 4. Set a dead hang start — full shoulder elevation and scapular depression before initiating.
Regression:
Cable lat pulldown in the same movement path before transferring the pattern to bodyweight.
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.
