Are pull ups bad?
At dd's meet on Friday I was chatting with another team parent. He mentioned something about pull ups not being good because of a growth plate in the forearm? I'm not sure what exactly he was saying. Perhaps it was something about which direction they grip the bar to do them? I think he said both forward and reverse grips were bad due to the growth plate?
I really don't know. Dd does pull ups at home on occasion so I was just curious if I should tell her not to do them anymore.
