    4:23 WHY NOT? Why not retract your shoulder blades before you are around 120° into shoulder flexion? Makes no sense and sounds arbitrary.

    • @moversodyssey
      @moversodyssey  3 місяці тому +166

      Its the way the shoulder is designed. Retracting the scapula with the arms overhead more than 120 degrees prevents upward rotation of the scapula. This puts a lot of pressure on the acromion and can lead to shoulder impingement.
      Some people have enough space in the joint to get away with this but many do not.
      So thats it, above 120 degrees the shoulder needs upward rotation and not retraction, and under 120 degrees the shoulder blades can retract without hampering their ability to rotate as needed.

    I ACCIDENTALLY discovered this exercise doing pull-ups on overhead bar fence just two weeks ago. With no room to move my head over/between the bars, I tried to move my torso from a vertical to a horizontal position as I pulled up. It gave me such a pump that I have never felt doing pull-ups for more than 20 years! It was a combination of rowing and pulling and a single complete back exercise. The neural grip of the bars had noticeable added benefits as well.

As I've strengthened this position, I've started to spontaneously pull up a little. Feels really good.

    As a climber i've started doing weighted (around waist/ 30kg) pullups and my body arched by itself while pulling, later that year ive noticed front lever gains. I was able to hold it for a 3-4 secs, pretty epic for a 193cm in min 30s that was never able to hold it more than half a sec. For a record i can do 5 to 8 static muscle ups easily, hang on a rolling bar one min while doing pullups. But this arched position really unlocked that front lever contraction. Cant wait to try girondas 🥶🤯. Im so glad ive found this chanell, awesome work bro. New follower here, sending love from croatia. ❤

    Great video. I love this variation. I've done arch back pull-ups before, and switched to them as my default with bands when I was trying to rehab myself. But I am now using rings exclusively (can't see myself ever switching back to bar!), and found myself naturally doing this pull-up variation as a progression when moving from passive to active hang to pullup. Something about the rings allow fantastic freedom of movement for my shoulders and grip. Delighted I've seen your video, as I'll make it a much more conscious exercise now.

      I always do inverted rows because it's not always easy to find a great bar hang spot at a playground. But you can always flip underneath a kids slide or usually there are lower bars that can be used. I just randomly do this when I'm taking my dog to different parks.
      I like it because it's always a different angle. Also, it's easier than pullups and so can do a lot more reps, and I'm sure there's carry over to the pullup from doing inverted rows and dead hangs only.
      Inverted rows and incline pushups are my favorite compound set -- sort of half assed active recovery kind of day. Or if you're on a lighter week, etc.

      I usually see dead hang pain in labrum tears or proximal bicep tendonitis. You can always start this from an active hang by using a bar thats short enough and see how it makes you feel. Though if you do have a tear or tendonitis you may want to scale down the intensity for awhile anyway. Maybe even look into adding isometrics and controlled articular rotations. Best of luck

    This is an excellent instructional video, which concisely explains the benefits and compares it to other styles of pull-ups -

    This is quickly becoming one of my favorite fitness channels and so, when I watched this video when it came out I decided to give the gironda pull ups a go. Yesterday was my first time trying them and yes, they are great! I've never been super good at pull ups but I was surprisingly able to crank out a few sets of a few reps of them. I know I still have to clean up my form, because they were probably not optimal. Suffice to say, today I'm feeling some very nice doms all over my back from yesterday's workout.
    But one funny thing happened. After two sets I started to feel a funny sensation in one of my buttocks, almost like a very slight sciatica pain, and then I realized that as I was doing the exercise and allowing my spine to bend as the movement demands it, I was getting this same sensation mid exercise. After finishing with it, the "pain" went away in its own. But that was weird to say the least.
    What can I do to fix this? 🤔

      Glad you're enjoying the channel!
      Sounds like you're getting a pinched nerve somewhere, likely in the lumbar spine. I would try to activate the abdominals while you do this exercise to take pressure off the lumbar spine. They don't have to be activated a crazy amount, just enough to support the spine. It may also be coming directly from the sciatic nerve getting pinched as well. If that's the case it would likely be from a tight piriformis. You could do a few good elevated pigeon stretches ahead of time and see if that helps. Best of luck!

    This is an amazing video! It would be awesome if we can have front lever build up video, focusing on abdominal strength building.

    Use to do them on the rings and high bar when I was in gymnastics. I'm seventy-six now but I can still do twenty-five chin-ups. I'm glad I saw this I will try it tomorrow and add it to my workout. Thank you.

    I started doing these a few months back to develop my scapula for climbing, which was tearing up my shoulders. Excellent for pain management and a killer back workout as well…

    Yup, I can confirm this one is a winner... Thirty years ago when I was weight training at my 'prime' (if there ever was one) I learned about this movement. Develops an amazing back thickness and strength (not so much for the lat width in my case). Egyptian bodybuilder Mohamed El Makkawy I believe did this exercise as well and his back was amazing. If ya'll don't know who he is and you're into bodybuilding, look him up, you won't be sorry!

    I have used this to an extent, with a torn bicep it is difficult to do, even with reduced weight you have to be very cautious with the arm and shoulder position. It does work the back very well!!

    previously doing a lot of hallow hang pull ups in my training but have recently been focusing on Barbell compounds and a couple pull and push plate loaded machines, been thinking i should be doing more pull ups and front levers again. i will be working on these as i can clearly see benifits. great video

    Been doing this ( just a tad less horizontal ) without knowing it was something , for a few months now.Had both shoulder opened up as well as left bicep reattached and this is the only chinup/pullup variation i can execute without pain ( i use rotating handles so more toward the semi chin up version ) Glad to see confirmation it is a good exercise for all of the back :) 👍👍
