  • Great advice. This is very true what you're saying. When I went through my personal training the trainers told us that we were taking our shoulder out of socket by going will full ROM in our pull ups. I tried to do a pull up with keeping my shoulder down and I knew right away it was B.S. bc I could no longer feel the exercise working fully. What was intended to keep the shoulders down was through the lowest part of the movement towards the chest, not at the top of the motion. Thanks for clarity.

  • Thanks for your comment.

  • Excellent insights, Paul, as always.

  • Thank you for your comment. You can see more of Paul's videos at his channel. ElasticSteel

  • I don't think any or very many "trainers" actually tell their clients to keep their shoulders pinned down throughout the movement.

  • You'd be surprised.

  • @endocomar93 Yeah because youtube commenters are the best people to ask for medical advice! You wouldn't want to go to the doctor or anything!

  • 6:35 number choo. Seriously tho good video thanks dude

  • so when you go up you tighten your shoulders? and when you go down you loosen them?

  • @timmylongdong wait so your saying its bad to go all the way down when doing a pullup?

  • Im a little confused...so do you keep the shoulders down or not? it seemed like you are say no,...but I want to clarify. I have a rotator cuff issue and am on my second shot. :(

  • Thanks for this! I think that I have hurt my shoulders doing chinups and now I have shoulder instability from having weight on the shoulder doing them at full R.O.M. Silly, but no one really explained this at the physiotherapy clinic, or the doctors!

  • So to summarize, try and keep shoulders down when you reach the top of the movement?

  • @endocomar93 Like @welliamwallace suggested, asking for medical advice from random YouTube commenters isn't very sensible, in fact it's pretty god damned stupid. Consider the advice given in the video, and most importantly see a doctor!

  • @endocomar93 Here is a couple of things that no body in their right mind would argue against doing for a recently injured shoulder. Ice your shoulders, take anti inflammatory like aspirin, rest them and do not do anything that hurts or aggravates the injury!!! Do all those things and go and see a doctor as soon as possible. Then insist on finding out what is wrong. Get an MRI if you have to and also consult a physical therapist if necessary.
