One thing must be clear in your mind that there is no alternate for pull ups, push ups and squats. These are great foundational exercises for all sorts. ❤
Thanks Zack! I've found out the hard way that if you don't lay down a decent enough scap foundation I can still build to decent numbers of chin-ups but my forearms are getting cooked and I'm not fully engaging my latts. As with all things; time to go backward before going forward again!
Gonna try these tore my rotator years ago and never got it checkout and created an impingement had a couple physical therapist tell me i need to try and strengthen my scapula they said it might keep the tendon from grinding the bone as bad. So far just been doing light dumbell exercises on a ball and seated rows.
I used to do the full stretch with my weighted pullups until i had a pinched nerve down my right arm. Ever since then i limited the range of motion to what a fully contracted scapular hang would allow (a scapular pullup). Honestly i dont think pull ups starting from a dead hang are safe for everyone. I think its best for longevity if you start with a scapular pull up and then keep that contraction throughout the entire pull up set, stretching mainly just the lats.
Do bw L-sit pull ups and progressively widen your grip width. This will build strength and stability at the fully stretched position where you are the weakest. This is especially the case with weighted pull ups.
I am by no means a trained professional but have found, in any context, if things don't feel right; go back to an easier version of the exercise and take it really slow. You might need someone to spot you or (at very least) have a mirror when you try to perform the exercise so you can see where you are going wrong.
You may be pulling inward as you pull back, like you're trying to bring your hands together.......maybe. It's not wrong, you can engage your pecs to add power to a hollow body pullups, but you might have a weak muscle in there somewhere supporting the shoulder.
my whole back hurts after 2hrs doing this only difference is while I'm doing this i added L thing with legs (just because it's look cool hahaha) now from my lower back to my shoulder hurts 😂 (just a newbie and I don't know what I'm doing)😂
Do L-sit pull ups for a month and progressively widen your grip width. You`ll notice a huge difference in stability and the amount of power you can generate from a dead hang.

The L-hang scapular pull up & leg tuck hang scap pull up are also great variations!
Slick!

Just what I was looking for! Working toward my first pull ups. Thanks!

Word, the scapular humeral complex is a delicate area

Any idea why I’m feeling my front delt working instead of my back? If so, how do I fix it?

Gotta start where you are.
Dis gives cute vibes hehe❤ honest effort is really heartwarming to see
does is help to fix your scapular winging?
No , I think scapula push up would work on that .
2:55 Freaky
I was taught not to relax or come down all the way is that true?
Absent of a joint issue, I don’t see why
