There is one true love: It’s me and the pull-up bar 🙃🫶🏻 No belt - no problem 😁 Just be creative. #pullups #calisthenics #geneva #switzerland https://blossom.primal.net/d644505a505d3d...

I've been watching you do weighted pull-ups for a while now. Sometimes it looked clean, and sometimes honestly - it was a bit scary to watch. This one is scary.
One piece of advice from a climber who had a shoulder injury a year ago and is still recovering - and please check it with a climbing coach or any gym coach: when you do weighted pull-ups never climb the ladder with the weight on and don't jump up to grab the bar. Set up a step so that you can reach the bar, grab the bar, engage your scapula, and only then start your pull-ups. And on the way down, never let your shoulder go slack - stay engaged the whole time. I know this better than most - 8 months of recovery!

You're doing great! Stay safe!

With never letting your shoulder go slack do you mean not going into a passive hang at the bottom of the rep? Why not? As long as the decent is controlled I feel very safe in that position.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed comment. Can I ask you a few questions? What is your main sport? How long have you been training? Do you coach athletes professionally? You mentioned your shoulder injury. What exactly happened, and was it related to weighted pull-ups or somet...
