Scap Pull

  1. Grab a pull-up bar or top rung of stall bars in a shoulder-width overgrip (palms away).
  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. Initiate the scap pull by fully depressing your shoulder blades and retracting them as much as possible.
  4. Keep your arms straight and allow the depression and retraction to arch your body backward.
  5. Control your body back to the dead hang and repeat for reps.
