How to do it

  1. 01

    Take a pronated grip on a pull-up bar.

  2. 02

    From a hanging position, raise yourself a few inches without using your arms. Do this by depressing your shoulder girdle in a reverse shrugging motion.

  3. 03

    Pause at the completion of the movement, and then slowly return to the starting position before performing more repetitions.

In the app

Scapular Pull-Up appears when you own the kit it needs and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.
