1 Arm Scap Pull

  1. Grab a pull-up bar or top rung of stall bars and assume a single arm dead hang.
  2. If you are using stall bars, face them to prevent your body from drifting forward during the pull.
  3. If you are hanging from a pull-up bar, do not allow your hips to drift forward in front of the bar.
  4. Initiate the 1 arm scap pull by depressing and then retracting your supporting shoulder as much as possible.
  5. Keep your arm straight and allow the depression and retraction to arch your body backward.
  6. Control your body back to the single arm dead hang and repeat for reps before switching sides.
