If this academic/writer thing tanks, I’m opening a gym. Almost every gym I see is designed to be hostile to fitness. 
I’d stack weights in proper increments and according to real use! Get rid of most machines! Ban the word “tone”! Focus on form and progression, not lbs!

Also if your shoulders are strained during pull-up/chin-up, you’re not engaging the real muscles you need: lats and biceps. Do negatives till no shoulder strain? Should be zero shoulder strain.

Yeah I do some lat pull downs in kneeling (not seated) but it’s not my focus. The real issue for me is that my shoulders are strong like ox and mobile like cement, so I have a really hard time with the range of motion. Shoulders are stupid.

I have the opposite problem - my shoulders move all over the place, which leads to all sorts of fun and exciting muscles getting squished. So I have to work *really* hard on form. And getting everything in position with full weight rarely happens so things go squish and crunch

Thank you! I finally reviewed & it's great. I think the missing link for me might be the partner-assisted pullups. My weird shoulders delayed pushups for years (due to shitty wrist extension, not strength), and this might help them figure out pullups.
