This 20 second video is a time lapse of a 4 minute set of assisted Wide Grip Pull Ups.

A few months ago my shoulders started getting so bad that Pull Ups and their variations were painful and restricted.

I started avoiding overhead lifts and that only made things worse, but doing Pull Ups or presses was getting weaker.

When this has happened in the past I just take a bunch of elastic bands, attach them to a dip belt and some good anchors and I do lots of reps in the beginning range of motion.

The leverage for me at the dead hang position is terrible, so I need as many muscles as possible to anchor my shoulder blades to my rib cage so my arms can pull me up.

Those muscles are small and there are lots of them and they need a lot of low fatigue repetitions to learn how to do this.

Once they have redundant strength and endurance to repeatedly stabilize and actuate the shoulder at the start of the Pull Up, ability to pull higher without pain or restriction naturally increases.

This method requires a focus on the process of paying attention to and refining the way you feel and initiate those first few muscles that connect you to the rest of the Pull Up.

The upside is a Pull Up that you own every inch and degree of.

Much aloha.
