If your Lats aren’t contributing to your pull up, your shoulder is likely getting into an injury prone position due to the over activity of the upper trap, levator scap, and coracobrachialis. . What makes it hard to “wake up“ the Lats is the amount of time most of us spend in the desk jockey position. This puts the body in a position to over activate the pecs, and upper traps, while down regulating the Lats. And sense the nervous system will revert back to what is most familiar when stressed, walking in cold and jumping up to the bar can set the stage for poor movement and injury. So spending TIME UNDER TENSION with the lats fully engaged is often necessary to carry over their function into the pull up.
