yes overtake Qingrong. next stop keverus.
Interesting thread.
I see many online videos on pull ups or chin ups, the arms never straighten.. or jerk the body..
Don't bluff yourselves, want to do must do properly ones ok?
4) Maintain a VERY Slight Elbow Bend Throughout the Set
This goes hand in hand with the above tip. Before starting your set you want to bend your elbows ever so slightly.
This bend should barely be noticeable, but it will have a huge impact on your elbow health.
Do not start with your elbows completely locked. This, again, places all of the stress on the tendons and ligaments instead of on the muscles. On each successive rep you should lower yourself until your arms are nearly straight, stopping just shy of lockout.
But don’t use this as an excuse to cheat. Just shy of lockout means that your elbows are “99% locked out;” you just don’t want that complete extension.
3) Start in the Proper Position
All too often people start in the dead hang position with their scapula elevated and their shoulders touching their ears. This is dangerous and incorrect.
When you do this all of the tension is placed on your tendons and ligaments instead of your muscles.
When you get on the bar you want to pull your shoulder blades down and lock your shoulders into their sockets. This is a far safer position and ensures that the stress will be placed directly on the muscles and not the tendons and ligaments.
Does anyone suffer from neck pain after chin up? It never happen b4 but recently I tio on my right side.
What can I do to prevent the pain/injury?


hyperextending your neck while doing the chin up?
keep a neutral spine,tuck your chin in or face straight during the pull. if you have to really strain your neck to ensure chin goes above the bar you're doing it wrong.
