just curious to what depth most people use on chins/pull ups
i used to think that full ROM was the way to go, until one of my co-workers said that once the scapula start to rotate out, most of the weight is taken by the joint capsule.
he started getting me to do chins and only lower till my elbows reached ear level, keeping my scapula back and down through out hte range of motion.....it was much much harder and the next day i was really sore in my lats rather than my teres major minor which is normally the only muscle that gets really sore after chins.
so...full ROM or almost full trying to keep scapula back and down?
