How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Hang from the bar with a secure grip, active shoulders, and enough clear space for an explosive pull.

  3. 03Release the bar only when you have sufficient upward momentum and clap your hands quickly in front of you.
  4. 04Regrip the bar with both hands at the same time and absorb the catch through engaged shoulders and bent elbows.
  5. 05Lower under control to a stable hang and reset fully before attempting another repetition.
