Improving your fitness, whether you’re an athlete, a coach, or a fitness enthusiast, relies heavily on maintaining good technique in your training. Many common mistakes can derail your progress, often linked to poor motivation or harmful training methods. Understanding these pitfalls not only helps avoid injuries but also enhances performance, ensuring that you build strength effectively and sustainably.
One of the most critical mistakes is allowing motivation rooted in ego to compromise technique. This often manifests as individuals pushing themselves to lift heavier weights or complete more repetitions without focusing on form. Such practices lead not only to injury but also to plateaus in progress. To truly advance, it's essential to prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring that every movement is performed with precision. Additionally, as fatigue sets in during workouts, sticking to proper technique remains crucial; if you're too tired to maintain form, it's time to pause and reset. This principle isn’t just about physical fatigue; if your mind isn't in the right place, stepping back can help prevent injuries stemming from distraction or lack of focus.
Another area to pay attention to is the danger of performing exercises like circular pull-ups, often seen in CrossFit environments. While these may enable athletes to complete more repetitions in competitions, they obscure the essence of proper strength training and risk straining ligaments or muscles. Real-world applications of exercises should emphasize correct movement patterns instead of relying on momentum. Overall, by reinforcing the importance of technique, being mindful of fatigue, and eliminating risky practices, both coaches and athletes can create a safer and more effective training environment.
- Prioritize proper technique over lifting heavier weights or completing more reps.
- Monitor fatigue and mental focus—stop if you can’t maintain good form.
- Avoid exercises that use momentum, like circular pull-ups, to ensure effective strength training.
0.06so the fourth common mistake is having2.909the wrong motivation now a lot of lot of6.359the time I've seen students who in front10.23of other people or whether it's for12.03themselves they want to sacrifice good15.54technique for more reps or going faster20.43or putting more weight on and this is24.779really bad25.859motivation this is a really wet bad way28.08of thinking of things because the bad32.46technique stuff is essentially is gonna36lead to injury okay and if you go40.26further or do more you know put more43.05weight on or whatnot but with bad45.18technique then it's down to you as the48.69coach or you know internally to yourself51.89to rein that back and you know catch it55.079before it happens56.989injuries will happen you know whether59.489that is a repetitive bad technique bad63.39rep longevity type injury where you67.049don't see any injury you know up front69.39but you know two months down the line71.34you know because you've been doing it73.02wrong but with a lot more weight that75.09you shouldn't have been doing you'll see77.1the injury down there or through acute80.04injury where you know you put too much81.869weight on suddenly something like just84.33starts aching or you know or worse yeah88.5you really don't want to have this91.29motivation of I am going to sacrifice93.869technique or basically trying to look97.799good or trying to overestimate what you101.34want to look like you're able to do104.39stick with the training stick with the107.22idea that you're actually trying to get109.47stronger but in the right way as the113.31coach is down to you to enforce a good116.729technique and try not to you know allow120.09the students to be able to you know go123.63faster or you know put more weight on or126.78add reps or whatever because you have130.2planned with a good plan that they133.76can't do that it's just not possible135.59with what you're asking them to do they138.29have to be able to do everything with140.15good technique and again as the coach is143.39down to you to you know nip that in the146.209bud you've got to be able to tell your148.25students that no you got to step back150.709you've got to go down a little bit152.569before you go further otherwise that's155.93where problems are going to rise because157.76there's sacrificing technique for160.459essentially trying to bolster themselves163.849or trying to look good or ego and these167.39are things that I'm not going to help168.859you169.25the other problem on top of injury is172.609that actually the student will just175.28plateau so what this means is and this179.12applies to yourself as well if you try181.31to go too fast or if you try to put too183.889much weight on and you're not you're all187.819you're trying to do is put more weight190.22on but with bad technique that will that194.06may take to you a little way that may195.92you know can take you for the next two197.93or three months but you will plateau you202.129will stall in your training because you205.91have bad technique and you've decided to209go fast and go ahead without trying to212.87do the correct technique first and build216.049slowly so it's kind of this thing where219.949you really want to check yourself or222.29your students and make sure that you are225.019not sacrificing technique for anything228.019else228.59moving into common fault number five230.889this is fatigue over technique so again237.349I see this quite a lot where as fatigue241.129sets in to their training good technique246.319it's sacrifice and essentially they're248.72doing really bad reps but they're just251.359keep going keep going252.769and this type of trainings for256.75especially strength training is just not259.489going to be helpful at all you want to262.19make sure that regardless of what the265.28fatigue is or how you feel267.62if you are unable to do good technique272.06you need to stop because you know trying275.389to do them where you are very fatigued278.66is just pointless however if you're282.139trying to do an endurance based thing284.57where fatigue is actually part of the287.09training that is totally fine and also289.85for real world training where you would293.51be tired you know you're putting in some296.66upper body you know climb ups where299.35you've just done a good two minutes of302.18parkour run now that means that you will305.15be fatigued and being under fatigue in307.82that situation is a great training tool310.1but if you're doing it for strength312.979training you don't want to sacrifice314.93that technique again if you're fatigued318.11now when we talk about fatigue most the321.11time we talk about now our body but also323.75this applies to your mind if you are326.479unfocused and unmotivated and you're329.6feeling you know pretty low then you332.96know this is not that there's a reason335.27for that and there's ways of training339.59where you need to be able to identify342.56what kind of mood you're in and how it's344.3going to go if it's just not that type347of day where you know psychologically349.7you're just not there then more often351.8than not it's better to kind of rein353.63back the training and actually do a bit356.69of a lie today because otherwise if your358.88mind is not on it and you're not360.95prepared 100% for doing your training363.77then this is where again injuries can366.56happen so ensure that you've done369.2everything to kind of wake yourself up370.729and make sure that your mind is on but373.97if you're just fatigued and mentally376.36then again this is an indicator then379.49patel potentially we need to kind of381.65step back a little bit the final common384.11fault384.5number six unfortunately is going to be387.95one that we see a lot when it comes to391.88CrossFit boxes and their type of395.24competition pull-ups these are circular398.87pull-ups399.65now circular pull-ups401.54used in CrossFit mostly and the idea405.5behind it is within their competitions407.99the count that they have so they will411.41have a period of time where they have to412.97do as many repetitions as possible and416.56the limits for that is they have to be419.72able to get their chin over the bar and423.7that's really the rule that as long as426.35that chin gets over the bar that they428.45can do that as many times as they can431.18within for one minute now to make this435.02faster the way that they've figured out438.38how to do is if you do this in a440.24circular motion where you are swinging443.57forward coming back and then as you're447.05starting to come forwards again your448.43chin just gets over the bar and then you450.77go forwards again and you do this452.51circular forwards and back type motion455.51for circular pull-up now you can see459.5that the problem here is again it is an461.45extension of keeping your wallet is463.76keeping and it's just not useful in the467.66real world to CrossFit and competition470.27that's absolutely fine and that is going473.24to get you a lot more reps but in the476.54real world for proper practical movement479.99and functional movement this is not482.42going to help you in any way shape or484.58form this is also not good for any type487.43of strength training because you are not490.22using your muscles again we went through492.89this with the momentum stuff the if494.9you're using momentum and the circles to497.39help you up what's happening is you're499.85using the stretch reflex of your501.83ligaments and muscles and tissue to pull505.13you around and then go again and it is507.59less strength work which again means510.17that the energy that is needed can be513.08maintained and you can do more reps and515.75this is why they can do more reps517.61because they're not actually doing a519.77pull-up because these circular pull-ups522.11are using momentum they are using the524.87stretch reflex like we said this means528.08that is that you're really going to be530.72putting your body in an absolutely533.83unnatural position535.46and there is a very high likelihood of539.17strains or stretching those ligaments or542.54muscles too much and all the potentially545.27tearing tissue and this is really not a548.12great way of thinking about training in550.25my opinion and yeah trying to do553.58strength training or most types of556.16training with circular pull-ups is not a558.53good idea the other thing is the fact560.48that with keeping and circular pull-ups563.33you can't do that in a lot of other566.66scenarios unless you're in the569.24competition and the situation is correct572.09then fine but if you're trying to do574.43climbing or building or bouldering or578.42you know trying to do anything other580.46than competition pull-ups you know583.73that's the only where only place you can586.07use them and really and truly you want589.13to be a more functional person and591.31unless you are doing a competition this594.26also has an impact on obviously the596.96mechanics are different598.43this means that psychologically the600.91neuromuscular pathway so that the brain604.07is telling the body to do a particular605.9thing and you're not training yourself608.78to do the right mechanics your brain is611.21not telling your muscles to do it the612.83right way which means again is not615.32helping you lastly doing large numbers619.34and lots of repetitions of bad motor622.55patterns and doing this type of motion625.61is just going to injure you is just628.88going to be bad for you overall you know632.57over a long period of time and I would635.21highly highly recommend not doing them637.94so there we go there are six common639.98faults to keep an eye out for and a few643.4things just to be thinking about if645.08you're a coach or the student just to647.78check yourself and make sure that you're649.34doing stuff correctly don't forget that652.01you can film yourself will use a mirror654.11if need to be this is a great tool and a657.23great way of getting visual feedback of659.69what you're exactly doing668.7you
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 so the fourth common mistake is having 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:09,000 the wrong motivation now a lot of lot of 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000 the time I've seen students who in front 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000 of other people or whether it's for 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:20,000 themselves they want to sacrifice good 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:24,000 technique for more reps or going faster 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000 or putting more weight on and this is 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000 really bad 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000 motivation this is a really wet bad way 10 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,000 of thinking of things because the bad 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000 technique stuff is essentially is gonna 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000 lead to injury okay and if you go 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000 further or do more you know put more 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000 weight on or whatnot but with bad 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000 technique then it's down to you as the 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000 coach or you know internally to yourself 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000 to rein that back and you know catch it 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000 before it happens 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000 injuries will happen you know whether 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,000 that is a repetitive bad technique bad 21 00:00:63,000 --> 00:01:09,000 rep longevity type injury where you 22 00:00:67,000 --> 00:01:11,000 don't see any injury you know up front 23 00:00:69,000 --> 00:01:12,000 but you know two months down the line 24 00:00:71,000 --> 00:01:14,000 you know because you've been doing it 25 00:00:73,000 --> 00:01:17,000 wrong but with a lot more weight that 26 00:00:75,000 --> 00:01:19,000 you shouldn't have been doing you'll see 27 00:00:77,000 --> 00:01:21,000 the injury down there or through acute 28 00:00:80,000 --> 00:01:24,000 injury where you know you put too much 29 00:00:81,000 --> 00:01:27,000 weight on suddenly something like just 30 00:00:84,000 --> 00:01:30,000 starts aching or you know or worse yeah 31 00:00:88,000 --> 00:01:33,000 you really don't want to have this 32 00:00:91,000 --> 00:01:37,000 motivation of I am going to sacrifice 33 00:00:93,000 --> 00:01:40,000 technique or basically trying to look 34 00:00:97,000 --> 00:01:43,000 good or trying to overestimate what you 35 00:00:101,000 --> 00:01:46,000 want to look like you're able to do 36 00:00:104,000 --> 00:01:49,000 stick with the training stick with the 37 00:00:107,000 --> 00:01:53,000 idea that you're actually trying to get 38 00:00:109,000 --> 00:01:56,000 stronger but in the right way as the 39 00:00:113,000 --> 00:01:59,000 coach is down to you to enforce a good 40 00:00:116,000 --> 00:01:62,000 technique and try not to you know allow 41 00:00:120,000 --> 00:01:66,000 the students to be able to you know go 42 00:00:123,000 --> 00:01:69,000 faster or you know put more weight on or 43 00:00:126,000 --> 00:01:72,000 add reps or whatever because you have 44 00:00:130,000 --> 00:01:75,000 planned with a good plan that they 45 00:00:133,000 --> 00:01:77,000 can't do that it's just not possible 46 00:00:135,000 --> 00:01:79,000 with what you're asking them to do they 47 00:00:138,000 --> 00:01:83,000 have to be able to do everything with 48 00:00:140,000 --> 00:01:86,000 good technique and again as the coach is 49 00:00:143,000 --> 00:01:87,000 down to you to you know nip that in the 50 00:00:146,000 --> 00:01:90,000 bud you've got to be able to tell your 51 00:00:148,000 --> 00:01:92,000 students that no you got to step back 52 00:00:150,000 --> 00:01:95,000 you've got to go down a little bit 53 00:00:152,000 --> 00:01:97,000 before you go further otherwise that's 54 00:00:155,000 --> 00:01:99,000 where problems are going to rise because 55 00:00:157,000 --> 00:01:103,000 there's sacrificing technique for 56 00:00:160,000 --> 00:01:106,000 essentially trying to bolster themselves 57 00:00:163,000 --> 00:01:108,000 or trying to look good or ego and these 58 00:00:167,000 --> 00:01:108,000 are things that I'm not going to help 59 00:00:168,000 --> 00:01:111,000 you 60 00:00:169,000 --> 00:01:115,000 the other problem on top of injury is 61 00:00:172,000 --> 00:01:118,000 that actually the student will just 62 00:00:175,000 --> 00:01:121,000 plateau so what this means is and this 63 00:00:179,000 --> 00:01:123,000 applies to yourself as well if you try 64 00:00:181,000 --> 00:01:127,000 to go too fast or if you try to put too 65 00:00:183,000 --> 00:01:129,000 much weight on and you're not you're all 66 00:00:187,000 --> 00:01:133,000 you're trying to do is put more weight 67 00:00:190,000 --> 00:01:135,000 on but with bad technique that will that 68 00:00:194,000 --> 00:01:137,000 may take to you a little way that may 69 00:00:195,000 --> 00:01:141,000 you know can take you for the next two 70 00:00:197,000 --> 00:01:144,000 or three months but you will plateau you 71 00:00:202,000 --> 00:01:148,000 will stall in your training because you 72 00:00:205,000 --> 00:01:151,000 have bad technique and you've decided to 73 00:00:209,000 --> 00:01:156,000 go fast and go ahead without trying to 74 00:00:212,000 --> 00:01:159,000 do the correct technique first and build 75 00:00:216,000 --> 00:01:162,000 slowly so it's kind of this thing where 76 00:00:219,000 --> 00:01:164,000 you really want to check yourself or 77 00:00:222,000 --> 00:01:167,000 your students and make sure that you are 78 00:00:225,000 --> 00:01:168,000 not sacrificing technique for anything 79 00:00:228,000 --> 00:01:170,000 else 80 00:00:228,000 --> 00:01:176,000 moving into common fault number five 81 00:00:230,000 --> 00:01:180,000 this is fatigue over technique so again 82 00:00:237,000 --> 00:01:185,000 I see this quite a lot where as fatigue 83 00:00:241,000 --> 00:01:188,000 sets in to their training good technique 84 00:00:246,000 --> 00:01:191,000 it's sacrifice and essentially they're 85 00:00:248,000 --> 00:01:192,000 doing really bad reps but they're just 86 00:00:251,000 --> 00:01:196,000 keep going keep going 87 00:00:252,000 --> 00:01:198,000 and this type of trainings for 88 00:00:256,000 --> 00:01:201,000 especially strength training is just not 89 00:00:259,000 --> 00:01:204,000 going to be helpful at all you want to 90 00:00:262,000 --> 00:01:207,000 make sure that regardless of what the 91 00:00:265,000 --> 00:01:211,000 fatigue is or how you feel 92 00:00:267,000 --> 00:01:214,000 if you are unable to do good technique 93 00:00:272,000 --> 00:01:218,000 you need to stop because you know trying 94 00:00:275,000 --> 00:01:221,000 to do them where you are very fatigued 95 00:00:278,000 --> 00:01:223,000 is just pointless however if you're 96 00:00:282,000 --> 00:01:226,000 trying to do an endurance based thing 97 00:00:284,000 --> 00:01:229,000 where fatigue is actually part of the 98 00:00:287,000 --> 00:01:233,000 training that is totally fine and also 99 00:00:289,000 --> 00:01:235,000 for real world training where you would 100 00:00:293,000 --> 00:01:238,000 be tired you know you're putting in some 101 00:00:296,000 --> 00:01:241,000 upper body you know climb ups where 102 00:00:299,000 --> 00:01:244,000 you've just done a good two minutes of 103 00:00:302,000 --> 00:01:247,000 parkour run now that means that you will 104 00:00:305,000 --> 00:01:249,000 be fatigued and being under fatigue in 105 00:00:307,000 --> 00:01:252,000 that situation is a great training tool 106 00:00:310,000 --> 00:01:254,000 but if you're doing it for strength 107 00:00:312,000 --> 00:01:257,000 training you don't want to sacrifice 108 00:00:314,000 --> 00:01:260,000 that technique again if you're fatigued 109 00:00:318,000 --> 00:01:263,000 now when we talk about fatigue most the 110 00:00:321,000 --> 00:01:266,000 time we talk about now our body but also 111 00:00:323,000 --> 00:01:268,000 this applies to your mind if you are 112 00:00:326,000 --> 00:01:272,000 unfocused and unmotivated and you're 113 00:00:329,000 --> 00:01:274,000 feeling you know pretty low then you 114 00:00:332,000 --> 00:01:278,000 know this is not that there's a reason 115 00:00:335,000 --> 00:01:282,000 for that and there's ways of training 116 00:00:339,000 --> 00:01:283,000 where you need to be able to identify 117 00:00:342,000 --> 00:01:286,000 what kind of mood you're in and how it's 118 00:00:344,000 --> 00:01:289,000 going to go if it's just not that type 119 00:00:347,000 --> 00:01:291,000 of day where you know psychologically 120 00:00:349,000 --> 00:01:292,000 you're just not there then more often 121 00:00:351,000 --> 00:01:295,000 than not it's better to kind of rein 122 00:00:353,000 --> 00:01:298,000 back the training and actually do a bit 123 00:00:356,000 --> 00:01:300,000 of a lie today because otherwise if your 124 00:00:358,000 --> 00:01:302,000 mind is not on it and you're not 125 00:00:360,000 --> 00:01:305,000 prepared 100% for doing your training 126 00:00:363,000 --> 00:01:308,000 then this is where again injuries can 127 00:00:366,000 --> 00:01:310,000 happen so ensure that you've done 128 00:00:369,000 --> 00:01:313,000 everything to kind of wake yourself up 129 00:00:370,000 --> 00:01:315,000 and make sure that your mind is on but 130 00:00:373,000 --> 00:01:318,000 if you're just fatigued and mentally 131 00:00:376,000 --> 00:01:321,000 then again this is an indicator then 132 00:00:379,000 --> 00:01:323,000 patel potentially we need to kind of 133 00:00:381,000 --> 00:01:323,000 step back a little bit the final common 134 00:00:384,000 --> 00:01:327,000 fault 135 00:00:384,000 --> 00:01:331,000 number six unfortunately is going to be 136 00:00:387,000 --> 00:01:334,000 one that we see a lot when it comes to 137 00:00:391,000 --> 00:01:337,000 CrossFit boxes and their type of 138 00:00:395,000 --> 00:01:339,000 competition pull-ups these are circular 139 00:00:398,000 --> 00:01:340,000 pull-ups 140 00:00:399,000 --> 00:01:344,000 now circular pull-ups 141 00:00:401,000 --> 00:01:347,000 used in CrossFit mostly and the idea 142 00:00:405,000 --> 00:01:350,000 behind it is within their competitions 143 00:00:407,000 --> 00:01:351,000 the count that they have so they will 144 00:00:411,000 --> 00:01:356,000 have a period of time where they have to 145 00:00:412,000 --> 00:01:358,000 do as many repetitions as possible and 146 00:00:416,000 --> 00:01:363,000 the limits for that is they have to be 147 00:00:419,000 --> 00:01:365,000 able to get their chin over the bar and 148 00:00:423,000 --> 00:01:367,000 that's really the rule that as long as 149 00:00:426,000 --> 00:01:370,000 that chin gets over the bar that they 150 00:00:428,000 --> 00:01:374,000 can do that as many times as they can 151 00:00:431,000 --> 00:01:378,000 within for one minute now to make this 152 00:00:435,000 --> 00:01:380,000 faster the way that they've figured out 153 00:00:438,000 --> 00:01:383,000 how to do is if you do this in a 154 00:00:440,000 --> 00:01:386,000 circular motion where you are swinging 155 00:00:443,000 --> 00:01:387,000 forward coming back and then as you're 156 00:00:447,000 --> 00:01:390,000 starting to come forwards again your 157 00:00:448,000 --> 00:01:392,000 chin just gets over the bar and then you 158 00:00:450,000 --> 00:01:394,000 go forwards again and you do this 159 00:00:452,000 --> 00:01:398,000 circular forwards and back type motion 160 00:00:455,000 --> 00:01:400,000 for circular pull-up now you can see 161 00:00:459,000 --> 00:01:403,000 that the problem here is again it is an 162 00:00:461,000 --> 00:01:407,000 extension of keeping your wallet is 163 00:00:463,000 --> 00:01:409,000 keeping and it's just not useful in the 164 00:00:467,000 --> 00:01:412,000 real world to CrossFit and competition 165 00:00:470,000 --> 00:01:416,000 that's absolutely fine and that is going 166 00:00:473,000 --> 00:01:419,000 to get you a lot more reps but in the 167 00:00:476,000 --> 00:01:421,000 real world for proper practical movement 168 00:00:479,000 --> 00:01:423,000 and functional movement this is not 169 00:00:482,000 --> 00:01:427,000 going to help you in any way shape or 170 00:00:484,000 --> 00:01:429,000 form this is also not good for any type 171 00:00:487,000 --> 00:01:432,000 of strength training because you are not 172 00:00:490,000 --> 00:01:434,000 using your muscles again we went through 173 00:00:492,000 --> 00:01:436,000 this with the momentum stuff the if 174 00:00:494,000 --> 00:01:438,000 you're using momentum and the circles to 175 00:00:497,000 --> 00:01:441,000 help you up what's happening is you're 176 00:00:499,000 --> 00:01:444,000 using the stretch reflex of your 177 00:00:501,000 --> 00:01:446,000 ligaments and muscles and tissue to pull 178 00:00:505,000 --> 00:01:450,000 you around and then go again and it is 179 00:00:507,000 --> 00:01:452,000 less strength work which again means 180 00:00:510,000 --> 00:01:455,000 that the energy that is needed can be 181 00:00:513,000 --> 00:01:457,000 maintained and you can do more reps and 182 00:00:515,000 --> 00:01:459,000 this is why they can do more reps 183 00:00:517,000 --> 00:01:461,000 because they're not actually doing a 184 00:00:519,000 --> 00:01:464,000 pull-up because these circular pull-ups 185 00:00:522,000 --> 00:01:467,000 are using momentum they are using the 186 00:00:524,000 --> 00:01:469,000 stretch reflex like we said this means 187 00:00:528,000 --> 00:01:473,000 that is that you're really going to be 188 00:00:530,000 --> 00:01:474,000 putting your body in an absolutely 189 00:00:533,000 --> 00:01:478,000 unnatural position 190 00:00:535,000 --> 00:01:482,000 and there is a very high likelihood of 191 00:00:539,000 --> 00:01:485,000 strains or stretching those ligaments or 192 00:00:542,000 --> 00:01:487,000 muscles too much and all the potentially 193 00:00:545,000 --> 00:01:489,000 tearing tissue and this is really not a 194 00:00:548,000 --> 00:01:493,000 great way of thinking about training in 195 00:00:550,000 --> 00:01:495,000 my opinion and yeah trying to do 196 00:00:553,000 --> 00:01:497,000 strength training or most types of 197 00:00:556,000 --> 00:01:500,000 training with circular pull-ups is not a 198 00:00:558,000 --> 00:01:502,000 good idea the other thing is the fact 199 00:00:560,000 --> 00:01:506,000 that with keeping and circular pull-ups 200 00:00:563,000 --> 00:01:508,000 you can't do that in a lot of other 201 00:00:566,000 --> 00:01:511,000 scenarios unless you're in the 202 00:00:569,000 --> 00:01:514,000 competition and the situation is correct 203 00:00:572,000 --> 00:01:518,000 then fine but if you're trying to do 204 00:00:574,000 --> 00:01:520,000 climbing or building or bouldering or 205 00:00:578,000 --> 00:01:523,000 you know trying to do anything other 206 00:00:580,000 --> 00:01:525,000 than competition pull-ups you know 207 00:00:583,000 --> 00:01:528,000 that's the only where only place you can 208 00:00:586,000 --> 00:01:531,000 use them and really and truly you want 209 00:00:589,000 --> 00:01:534,000 to be a more functional person and 210 00:00:591,000 --> 00:01:536,000 unless you are doing a competition this 211 00:00:594,000 --> 00:01:538,000 also has an impact on obviously the 212 00:00:596,000 --> 00:01:539,000 mechanics are different 213 00:00:598,000 --> 00:01:543,000 this means that psychologically the 214 00:00:600,000 --> 00:01:544,000 neuromuscular pathway so that the brain 215 00:00:604,000 --> 00:01:548,000 is telling the body to do a particular 216 00:00:605,000 --> 00:01:550,000 thing and you're not training yourself 217 00:00:608,000 --> 00:01:552,000 to do the right mechanics your brain is 218 00:00:611,000 --> 00:01:555,000 not telling your muscles to do it the 219 00:00:612,000 --> 00:01:558,000 right way which means again is not 220 00:00:615,000 --> 00:01:562,000 helping you lastly doing large numbers 221 00:00:619,000 --> 00:01:565,000 and lots of repetitions of bad motor 222 00:00:622,000 --> 00:01:568,000 patterns and doing this type of motion 223 00:00:625,000 --> 00:01:571,000 is just going to injure you is just 224 00:00:628,000 --> 00:01:574,000 going to be bad for you overall you know 225 00:00:632,000 --> 00:01:577,000 over a long period of time and I would 226 00:00:635,000 --> 00:01:579,000 highly highly recommend not doing them 227 00:00:637,000 --> 00:01:582,000 so there we go there are six common 228 00:00:639,000 --> 00:01:584,000 faults to keep an eye out for and a few 229 00:00:643,000 --> 00:01:587,000 things just to be thinking about if 230 00:00:645,000 --> 00:01:589,000 you're a coach or the student just to 231 00:00:647,000 --> 00:01:591,000 check yourself and make sure that you're 232 00:00:649,000 --> 00:01:593,000 doing stuff correctly don't forget that 233 00:00:652,000 --> 00:01:597,000 you can film yourself will use a mirror 234 00:00:654,000 --> 00:01:599,000 if need to be this is a great tool and a 235 00:00:657,000 --> 00:01:602,000 great way of getting visual feedback of 236 00:00:659,000 --> 00:01:602,000 what you're exactly doing 237 00:00:668,000 --> 00:01:610,000 you
