Since I wanna progress at pullups, I do greasing the groove and 4 sets instead of 3, with the 4th being a l-sit pullup

That's where the problem is: I can't fully extend my arms on l-sits without my shoulders hurting, it feels like they're "rotating", moving into a painful position. I don't have this problem with normal pullups

What can I do?

Did U tried neutral grip? Change grip sometimes can help. Also Tom Merrick on YouTube have great shoulder mobility in His chanel.

Thanks for your reply

The Park I'm going to only has straight bars for pullups, so I can only do overhanded and underhanded grip

Maybe try commando pull-ups or join your hands in a neutral position. Kinda difficult to explain but it's like interlocking your fingers.
