This video demonstrates two variations that target the subscapularis — a key shoulder-stabilizing muscle often overlooked in training:

• Subscapularis pull-up (first part of the video): a wide-grip lean-away pull-up that challenges shoulder stability and pulling strength.
• Subscapularis pulldown (second part of the video): an easier version that builds the strength and coordination needed for the full pull-up.

If you’re new to these movements, begin with the pulldown variation using a manageable weight to develop proper control. Once you can perform it smoothly and with good form, progress to the pull-up version. Over time, this progression will help build stronger, healthier shoulders and enhance your overall pulling performance.
