For the last couple years, I've been a bit of a pullup "purist"; I haven't trained any variations aside from the standard pullup, figured I needed to just focus on the basics.
More recently I've been doing just a couple of chinups every morning, just to show a little love to some of the other musculature. For the most part these feel fine, and actually seems to have done good things for my elbows. But, at the very end of the eccentric phase of the chinup (i.e. right at the bottom) I feel a knot in my upper back, right next to my spine. Rhomboids maybe? I'm not sure. But it feels like something that might benefit from some kind of focused remedial work.
Any suggestions?
