Seriously, I am the same person as you lol. Ive read several of your articles now and came across this EXACT discovery of learning how to create tension. First with my squat and then with my pull up . I too also have a lat asymmerty thing going on. I swear I'm living in your parallel universe!

I need to get on those one arm band pullups ASAP.

Thanks!

just started following your blog - love it - and this pull up post is beaaaast. GREAT reminder about varying the mode & intensity of the training while still focusing on the skill. SUPER important - using it in my own training now to increase my pull up numbers. i'm really excited to read more of your stuff, thanks for posting!!

I can definitely relate to that feeling of extreme pride and elation when I banged out my first unassisted chin-up! I also really appreciate this post because I've been stuck at a plateau for the last 6 months and was wondering what it would take to improve it. :)

Excellent tips. Thank you so much Neghar. You've really inspired me and I always hear your wise words in my head when I'm training! I hope you don't mind, but I copied one of your passages about avoiding ugly reps on my blog!

great post! Love it, straight and to the point...I always tell my female clients who want to be able to do unassisted chin ups or pull ups is to just keep on doing them! We work on the bands, and some have moved up to sans bands! its incredible to see!!

I'm still using fairly strong bands (already feeling more "pulled together) but I really appreciate hearing about your insights into dorsiflexion. It seems to fit with some of the Iyengar style yoga instruction I've received. Headstand is often imagined as Mountain Pose, upside down re: feet. Barb
