The Devil is in the DETAILS!

Strongman Archaeology

Sometimes, ya just gotta remember what to do! When l jumped back into BTN Pullups on Sunday, l felt l had quite a bit of work to do. Two days later, and l'm absolutely pulling all the way up to the bar! The quick turnaround around wasn't about strength or mobility. I just needed to pinch my shoulder blades together, OR pull my elbows out, OR perform some Horizontal Scapular Adduction(🤪). So, if you're having trouble with BTN Pullups, remember to pull those elbows out after the initial pull and maybe work some shoulder blade pinching via Barbell Bent Rows to the Sternum or Bent L-Flyes. Lotsa good stuff here folks! Hope it helps. God Bless!

00:00How did I go from Sundays not quite good enough to on the right much better?

00:07Initial start, elbows are going to be coming forward because that's part of internal rotation.

00:12With the lats, you're pulling with the lats, whether you're doing them to the front or to the back.

00:16Elbows are going to come in, but what you've got to remember is that there's a second part of the movement where you pull the elbows out.

00:24And that's what I remembered to do on the right, which is why I was able to make it the rest of the way.

00:29It's not a mobility issue, it's not a strength issue, it's an understanding what the movement requires issue.

00:36On the right, I forgot to pull the elbows back.

00:40And there you go, easy up to the top, just like that.
