How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Grip a secure pull-up bar slightly wider than shoulder width and use a step so you do not have to jump into position.
  2. 02Keep one or both feet lightly supported if a full bodyweight hang is not comfortable or controlled.
  3. 03Let the arms straighten and allow a gentle passive shoulder position without forcing the joints or losing the grip.
  4. 04Keep the ribs controlled, breathe steadily, and remain completely still without swinging.
  5. 05Place the feet back on the step and release the bar before grip or shoulder position fails.
