How to perform it

01 Grip the pull-up bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width, palms facing away from you.
02 Hang with your arms straight and your shoulders relaxed down away from your ears.
03 Brace your core and keep your body in a straight line, with your legs still.
04 Pull your chest up toward the bar by driving your elbows down and back.
05 Keep your neck neutral and avoid shrugging your shoulders.
06 Pull until your chin clears the bar or your chest reaches the bar if you can do so with control.
07 Lower yourself slowly until your arms are fully straight again.
08 Reset your body and repeat for the desired number of reps.
