  • You’re looking to bend the bar on a pull up. It helped me to frame the movement as the scapula retraction it is at first rather than anything really to do with your arms.

    Or similar when running where you’re pushing the ground away from you rather than lifting your feet off it. You’re pulling the sides of the bars down rather than pulling yourself up

  • I did, at one point, just work on sets of scapula retractions.

    At some point, though, it just comes down to me being lazy.

    I mean, I have a pullup bar literally above my head all day, and I hang off it about once a week.
