question, weighted chin ups (with a dip belt) might affect a person's ability to arch the way you do. would a more 'neutral spine' be advisable? or can the way you showed (with that arch) still be done? looking to do it to maximise force output. do advise thanks!
hey dr.is lumbar extension comes wen u put the scapula down and going up for pull up movement.or spine should be in natural with core engagement. and wat about the hips tilt anterior or posterior ???. thanks for considering
Im getting ready to do a blog post on this subject. Essentially, "neutral spine" becomes less important since you have no axial load on the spine like you would in a dead lift/squat. The slight extension in the thoracic and lumbar spine would only be harmful if you had per-existing injury in those areas, or that movement is done in a ballistic fashion and you can't control the movement. Trying to force neutral spine with the hands facing out often puts the shoulders in more of a disadvantageous position (elevation/anterior rotation). If keeping spine neutral is your focus, a "chin up" and position would be a better option. It simply depends on your goals.
This exact form greatly helps my mind to identify my lat, i have poor mind muscle connection with lat and this is game changing.
The only thing better than awesome helpful information is when it’s given by a handsome man. Thank you.
Finally a UA-cam channel!!!! I will recommend this to everyone I know.
thank you so much!
Thanks for the tips, I've always had pretty poor lat activation, going to implement these next workout. Good luck with the channel
Underrated channel man! What a gem
Awesome channel
