Never realised how much internal shoulder rotation occurs during wide grip pull ups until i dislocated my shoulder. Not good for shoulder health in my opinion (n=1).

bump that up to n=2 mate!!!

And if you do somehow manage to generate a decent amount of external rotation with wide grip, it's VERY torquey on the wrist.

Okay so best way of doing pullups is to avoid flaring of the elbows as much as possible keep your elbows close to your sides. I read in a gymnastics book the best time to do wide grip is on the rings.

hmmm I always attempt pull ups and lately have widened the grip to make it tougher, i dislocated my right shoulder many times, are you guys saying I could be doing damage or what? its my fave exercise :/

Okay so we shouldn't be doing pull ups? We should be using the lat pull machine instead?

NOOOOOO. Pullups ftw!

Anterior dislocation, wide grip will repeatably put the joint into INternal rotation, which isnt good for a previously dislocated shoulder , just narrow the grip a little as recommended by Hanley.

Hell no, just narrow the grip slightly!

Can anyone remember the name of those mini foam roller like equipment?

They are about 6-8 inches long and look like a giant version of the things thread comes on. They're used for rolling calves and arch of feet IIRC.

Expensive, though there is a starter kit on amazon which is cheaper.
