Getting Prepped for the TSC in April 2019. Right now in the phase of training of just trying to get stronger and refine my competition movements.
I have been dilligently following a pullup program utilizing the Power to the People Method. In short it has been working great. I've gotten stronger and haven't missed a rep. Only issue I am starting to get some pain in my Rhomboids. Had a few ideas but wanted to hear other folks input.
1) Rest and Not train the movement (not a huge fan of this option). While the rest may be good It seems like instead I should reintroduce the movement under a reduced load so I can continue to practice the skill. Curious to hear others thoughts.
2) Train the Pullup at bodyweight only for a considerable amount of time and build some reps.
3) Instead of resting use some antagonistic movements (Cable crossovers, Chest Flyes, Handstand push-ups etc)
Curious to hear other peoples thoughts and thanks for reading!
