How to do it

  1. 1Start by hanging from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. 2Engage your core and use a swinging motion to generate momentum.
  3. 3As you swing forward, pull your chest towards the bar, using your lats and biceps to initiate the movement.
  4. 4Continue the upward motion until your chest reaches the bar, then transition into a dip position by pushing down on the bar and extending your arms.
  5. 5Lower yourself back down to the starting position by bending your arms and controlling the descent.
  6. 6Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
