The narrow grip pull-to-your chin variation is a shoulder killer.  A shoulder width grip pulling to your nipples can be safe n effective

Really though there's better, safer alternatives for p much everyone

I don't do this exercise, painful for shoulders.

I stopped also barbell bench press and dips.




I have to agree with you, all of these exercises often causing injuries. I've done and mostly still do them anyway. To date this has not resulted in my being injured. My sister blew out her shoulder doing body weight dips. I'm guessing she either wasn't strong enough to lift her body using her arms and/or her form was terrible. There are counter-weighted dip machines for beginners.

I tried to join BDB's crew, "team upright row". I was declined. I'm serious.

Bob only considered applications from those who were the first on their block with shredded lats and shredded glutes.
