This document discusses pulling movements and whether they should be considered rotational or translational. It reviews current issues in pulling technique, research on scapula positioning and shoulder strength ratios. While pulling involves movement of the scapula, elbow, and trunk, the degree and timing of movement in each part is still debated. Slow, heavy pulls that allow the elbow to pass the trunk line may involve more rotation, while compound pulls aim to move all joints simultaneously in translation. More research is still needed to define optimal scapula positioning and pulling kinematics.
