However, I honestly failed to do a proper demonstration of the “incorrect” version so I believe it deserve some clarification to avoid misleading information. Let’s make it in Q&A format… 💭 Is rounding the spine wrong? No, it is not. However, when this is happening unintentionally due to lack of strength, it can be a problem. 💭 Why is it a “problem”? Most beginners already have a hard time feeling their back. If they can’t keep a semi-extended or neutral spine on top position, they are lacking strength and it’s a compensation. Period. Also, rounding the spine at the top is usually accompanied by protraction and elevation of the shoulders, which is not the safest position for them. 💭 What about hollow pull ups? Hollow pull ups is not a progression I’d ever recommend to a beginner. They are way better of working with a neutral spine or better yet, the arch version. This will ensure they learn how to use their posterior chain properly and put the shoulders in a safe position to pull from. Hollow pull ups is simply a pull up keeping the anterior chain engaged (abs mainly). When we do a hollow pull up we intentionally round the spine, which is totally different from the compensation mentioned above. 💭 What about weighted pull ups? For those lifting heavy weights, their spine will round as they approach the top. But those lifting heavy weights have gone through years of training (hopefully) and they are aware of this compensation. They know when the position is safe, and when the position is compromised. A beginner doesn’t know this. 💭 What about hybrid Pull Ups? Hybrid pull ups refers to arching on the way up and rounding as tou finsih the pull up (similar to the demostratiom of the first clip) Again, done intentionally has its place, but not something I would prescribe to beginners. In short: I was trying to point out a very common compensation among beginners which could potentially lead to lack of progress and/or shoulder pain.
