Hard to say what is going on, but it sounds like it has been some time so getting it looked at in person by a professional would be a great idea. In the meantime, I would not advise doing anything that is painful and working on some joint mobility work at a very slow speed. Rock on Mike T Nelson Thanks for the follow up.

But still i am not sure whether i should do pull ups or not. cheers b. hi, thanks for the answer.

Very hard to say without watching you, but my guess is that rotating the palm down may be an issue or external rotation at the shoulder may be an issue. Is it just the pull up motion (palms away) that hurts? Any other movement that hurts? Nice work on the chins and ring pull ups!! rock on Mike T Nelson Thanks for the comment!

It takes a bit of relearning to get them down again. You can add in some chin ups too on days pull ups are not going as well too. Keep us updated!!
