CrossFit Sumo Dead Lift High Pull

[TheBoyupstairs]

ditch the high pull and use everything up to and including the shurg to train the first two phases of the Clean. if you love your shoulders, leave the high pull segment alone.

Upright rows are NOT a good exercise. By her maintaining a closed grip with her palms facing her, she is creating internal shoulder rotation. As she raises the bar her shoulders are abducted and internally rotated, and that is a pinching combination. As the soft tissue structures within the shoulder are pinched, they become chronically inflamed.

There are better alternatives such as Deltoid Fly's, and Shoulder Shrugs.

@MattRubinPK does an ez bar help ?

@gazmanaindevil I would simply stay away from upright rows. There is no reason to ever perform one. Deltoid Fly's and Shoulder Shrugs are great alternatives that do not impinge on the shoulders.

She needs to extend her hips!!

This isnt a high pull, it is a goblet squat to upright row.

The whole point of a high pull is that it is an isolated part of the power clean/snatch sequence. The bar (or kettbell in this case) is pushed upwards with momentum from hips NOT pulled up with arms.
