Hey guys. I've been doing lat pull ups where I transfer out of my wheelchair and onto a flat bench, set a bar over my head to where my arms are straight, and pull up to where my chin is even with the bar or up and over it completly.
I was doing lateral pull ups yesterday and was very surprised when I set the bar at it's usual position, that instead of my arms being straight above my head like they're supposed to be, they were bent at 90 degrees like I was in a starting position for a dumbbell shoulder press. I had to actually set the bar two positions higher so my arms were straight above my head like they're supposed to be.
What could cause this sudden increase? I figure that it's either: 1. My posture 2. My torso has grown longer (I"m 35. I shouldn't still be growing should I?) or 3. My arms have increased in length (again, I shouldn't still be growing, I think)
I have't changed anything. I'm still doing the exercise the same way. What could be going on?
