⚠️ MISTAKE 1
Excessive Internal Rotation of the Shoulders - Basically, flaring the elbows.
✅ THE CORRECT FORM
Keeping the Elbows Close to the Body. On Chin Ups the emphasis is shoulder extension, unlike Pull Ups which is shoulder adduction.
☝🏽COMMON REASON WHY THIS HAPPENS
1 - You have a hard time activating the external rotators.
2 - You aren’t familiar/experienced with the proper technique.
-----
⚠️ MISTAKE 2
Making a big “C” shape when you pull yourself up.
✅ THE CORRECT FORM
Pulling as straight and vertically as possible.
🧠 REMEMBER THIS
Curved Pull = Longer Path = Inefficient
Straight Pull = Shorter Path = Efficient
☝🏽 COMMON REASON WHY THIS HAPPENS
1 - Going from arched back to hollow. Not keeping a Thoracic Extension throughout the movement.
2 - Relying too much on strength to compensate a poor technique.
----
⚠️ MISTAKE 3
Elevating the Scapula - Shoulders shrugging getting closer to the ears as you pull up or lower down.
☝🏽COMMON REASON WHY THIS HAPPENS
You have a hard time dissociating the “pulling via scapula” vs “pulling via arms”.
Relying too much on your biceps + having a weak scapula awareness is the perfect scenario for this to happen.
✅ THE CORRECT FORM
Keeping the Scapula Depressed - Starting the chin up with a scapula depression (pulling shoulders away from the ears) and keeping it.
We hope this helps family!
