⚠️ Most common mistake: Kipping or swinging the legs to generate momentum instead of pulling cleanly with the back and arms. Cutting the range short by stopping before the chin clears the bar or skipping the full hang at the bottom. Shrugging the shoulders up at the start so the traps take over and the lats never engage. Dropping fast at the bottom and skipping the slow lowering phase, where most of the strength gains happen.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Selkälihakset. The Hauikset assist.
