⚠️ THE MISTAKE
Excessive Internal Rotation of the Shoulders — Basically, flaring the elbows.
✅ THE CORRECT FORM
Keeping the Elbows Close to the Body. On Chin Ups the emphasis is shoulder extension, unlike Pull Ups which is shoulder adduction.
☝🏽COMMON REASON WHY THIS HAPPENS
1 - You have a hard time activating the external rotators.
2 - You aren’t familiar/experienced with the proper technique.
✍️ DO THIS TO FIX IT
1 - Technical cue: As you pull up, think about bending the bar towards your body. (Works with Pull Ups as well)
2 - Technical cue: Pull your elbows down and back, as you keep them close to the torso.
3 - Warm up your external rotators prior to doing Chin Ups. (AKA Pre-Activation) I can tag you on a post with External Rotation drills if you request it in the comments ;)
The practice goes on.
Sending you love, family!
