Operation Chin-up: Supplemental Exercises

As you continue to work on your pull up training,  we wanted to provide you with some supplemental exercises that will not only keep you from getting too bound up, but also help get even more dialed in on the movement mechanics of the shoulder and back, especially learning how to stabilize your scapula and keep out of your upper traps.  Here is a series that will help you do just that. All of these exercises can be done with the equipment you already have for the pull up program. These should only take 5-10 minutes to complete and will serve as a good warm-up before you do your pull up training.



1 min Counter Stretch

10-15 Finger Locked Overhead Reach

10-15 Reach Roll, Depress

5 - 5 second hold Prone Cobra with Scapular Depression
