Trouble with pull ups!

Can you justify why anything i am saying would be untrue?

Look at the results. Thousands of cross-fit folks doing them daily - at all levels of fitness and having zero problems. I don't do Crossfit anymore because I don't think it's nearly as valuable for body-sculpting. But they have implemented some new ideas that are in the face of conventional knowledge - and it works.

A quick search on google showed many cross fitters complaining of labrum tears due to this method. I do not take that as scientific but saying a ton of people do it so it must be fine doesnt really make it true as well. As i said, if it works and you dont have issues then i would say keep doing them, but they are not something i would ever recommend as i feel there are much safer ways

Funny you mentioned that. My buddy owns a chiropractic business and has quite a few cross fitters that come in for weekly work on shoulders.
