How to perform

    Start by hanging from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Engage your core and pull your shoulder blades down and back.

  3. 3

    As you pull yourself up, bend one arm and bring your elbow towards your side, while keeping the other arm straight.

  4. 4

    Continue pulling until your chin is above the bar and your bent arm is fully flexed.

  5. 5

    Lower yourself back down with control, straightening the bent arm and repeating the movement on the other side.

  6. 6

    Alternate sides with each repetition.
