Artemis Fernweh Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 When I'm doing my negatives my triceps engage and the front of my shoulder also engages, and this is with me making sure to pull my shoulder blades down. When I try to do the chin-up from a dead hang the only height I can get is from pulling my shoulder blades down and it causes pain in the front of my shoulder. I do not feel my back or biceps or anything else engage while doing this. Can y'all help me with this? I'm not quite sure how to fix this.

Nedwin Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I just watched a couple more videos to see if I could figure out why I'm not progressing, and I discovered my grip was not wide enough. Here is the most recent video I watched, which is full of variations and progression explanations.

shaggy Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Artemis, I've never really liked chin ups from dead hang for that reason, you could try changing up the width of hand placement to see if it makes it better, I think I usually go a little narrower that shoulder width myself. It could also be that pulling from the dead hang is the hardest part. On your negatives do you go really slow and controlled through that bottom range of motion, including releasing the shoulders from active hang to passive hang at the end? -shaggy Quote Link to comment

starsapart Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 ^^I totally missed the past two weeks. The first week due to camp and the last week due to Zombie Cold. This was me as well. Camp + Zombie Cold. I got back on the wagon yesterday. Managed 3 full pulls (with rests between each), a negative, and then could not complete the 5th pull. STILL! I could only do 2 last time I checked, so clearly something I did at camp/aerial helped push this along. 2 Quote ?current challenge? challenge archive: 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 instagram | goodreads "Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world." - Voltaire Link to comment

Anim07734 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I spent the last week doing a set once an hour while I was home. It really adds up; I got 250 reps for the assassin mini. 3 Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option. It is mandatory.

blkhole24601 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Leaving negatives for the week and going back to assisted pull-ups/lat pull-downs. Four weeks straight of Week -2 and I need something different, plus taking a step back is probably a healthy thing. 1 Quote Vicki | Sheikah Bard | Level 13 STR 32.5 | DEX 51.1 | STA 25.5 | CON 37.1 | WIS 26.0 | CHA 31.3 blkhoe24601 Gains the Power to Revolutionize the World Past Challenges: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 2016 Battle Log Link to comment
