Short Class 45: Pull-up Mobility
KINSTRETCH With Beard
•
40m
This class is for everyone trying to level up their pull-up skills
Equipment Needed: Yoga blocks and a pull-up bar (ideally mounted and stable).
Our first PAILs/RAILs base will be for shoulder flexion, which is a perquisite range we need to develop for the pull-ups.
After that we’ll go into a scapular retraction PAILs/RAILs base, which is another important one.
Then we’ll finish up doing PAILs/RAILs underneath a pull-up, in essentially scapular elevation - which will help develop the strength at the bottom of the pull-up, which is the area most people struggle with. While in this base, it's very normal for fatigue to set in rather quickly. Id at any point you need to get out of base and shake your arms out, that’s completely okay - you can hop back into the base whenever you’re ready. We do 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs here, but if you only have enough juice for 1 or 2, that’s okay.
As always, listen to your body and go at your own pace.
I hope you enjoy this class!
