A pull-up is an upper-body strength exercise. The pull-up is a closed-chain movement where the body is suspended by the hands, gripping a bar or other implement at a distance typically wider than shoulder-width, and pulled up. As this happens, the elbows flex and the shoulders adduct and extend to bring the elbows to the torso.
The face pull is a weight training exercise that primarily targets the musculature of the upper back and shoulders, namely the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, Latissimus dorsi as well as the biceps. [1] The face pull is considered an important exercise for shoulder health and stability. [2]
Keep your back straight and low down instead of up during the exercise. The more your feet are elevated, the more difficult this variation will be. The declined push-up, with the downward angle, adds additional work to the front shoulder and upper pectoral muscles.
The upper back includes multiple muscles: latissimus dorsi (lats), levator scapulae (shoulder blade), rhomboids (muscles that pull the scapula inward toward the spine), and the trapezius (traps ...
It uses muscles of the back and abdomen, and is not good for precise maneuvering. Techniques for maneuvering using fins include: Reverse, back, or backward kick. This advanced skill is the only method of finning which moves the diver backward, pulling along the main body axis.
The muscle-up begins with the arms extended above the head, gripping a hold in the overhand pull-up position. The hold is usually on a chin-up bar or gymnastic rings.. The body is then explosively pulled up by the arms in a radial pull-up, with greater speed than a regular pull-up.
Snapping scapula syndrome, also known as scapulocostal syndrome or scapulothoracic syndrome, is described by a "grating, grinding, popping or snapping sensation of the scapula onto the back side of the ribs or thoracic area of the spine" (Hauser). Disruption of the normal scapulothoracic mechanics causes this problem.
A typical pullover involves resting the upper back on a flat bench. The hips are kept slightly flexed. Keeping the hips off the bench is said to help in balancing the weight and stability during the movement. The weight is held above the chest with elbows slightly bent.
