How to do it
- Start by hanging from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Engage your core and pull your shoulder blades down and back.
- As you pull yourself up, bend one arm and bring your elbow towards your side, while keeping the other arm straight.
- Continue pulling until your chin is above the bar and your bent arm is fully flexed.
- Lower yourself back down with control, straightening the bent arm and repeating the movement on the other side.
- Alternate sides with each repetition.
