Is this what you're talking about? I think it was Burgener coaching most of these. Looked a bit odd to me but I was willing to defer to someone w. experience.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833370272511078366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363982.post-79530772742064104122010-08-30T09:36:17.871-07:002010-08-30T09:36:17.871-07:00Wow, thanks for the insight.

They are ballistic shortening of the scapulohumeral muscles--at the bottom of the pull up, the shoulder girdle is under a load probably > bodyweight, so the musculature doesn't ever get to lengthen and relax. The majority of the concentric work is a horizontal pull, not a vertical pull, so the musculature gets very strong--and very tight--in a very short range of motion. Most CF people do an absurd number of kipping pull ups compared to the number of times they do quality overhead movement with a barbell, that requires lengthening and relaxation of the scapulohumeral muscles. Thus, many people actually get an imbalance around the shoulder that is not conductive to putting the barbell above the head with good shoulder flexion and external rotation.Tracy Foberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336639159424141641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363982.post-27947284225907479792010-08-25T10:57:47.248-07:002010-08-25T10:57:47.248-07:00How do kipping pull-ups create tightness?

Full ROM is key, so it control. I don't care if you can do more than 20. I care how you do them, with or without assist.Tracy Foberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336639159424141641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363982.post-36294758376055800482010-08-21T12:48:21.979-07:002010-08-21T12:48:21.979-07:00Do you believe dead-hang pull-ups are OK for shoul...Do you believe dead-hang pull-ups are OK for shoulder mobility?David Leitnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465658076681849770noreply@blogger.com
