Nice

Good work! Love the negatives as well - very advanced :) I am still trying to get my pull-up form correct - as soon as I feel any shoulder pinging I am out. So hard to get the lats to do their job and avoid having the shoulders do the heavy lifting. Chin ups for me go okay in contrast but they are much easier to get right. Stay safe and injury free!

Thanks! I definitely found that chin-ups go better for me. I’m focusing there to try to build up strength. One day I will be able to do more than 1 pull-up in a row. So far, no shoulder problems. I notice that I really feel my lats if I start negative chin up locked in really tight at the top, elbows at my side, chest pushed out.

@@Schismarch Yup - the negatives are awesome for that. There are plenty of pull-up videos out there to help you get it right. www.youtube.com/@SquatUniversity/videos do a search using pull ups. Take your time to get it right.

Amazing! Love it. I actually came back here to tell you that all of your advice about bracing has rubbed off on me and was timely. My 60lb pitbull just had neck surgery and I have to use essentially a log carrier type thing to support his weight when I take him to pee. It’s super awkward and was feeling kind of bad on my back and then I remembered what you said like brace all the time. Started doing that and it doesn’t feel weird or painful. Cheers!

@@Schismarch Fantastic - keep yourself safe, injury free and strong!
