Instructions

Setup

  • Stand directly underneath a sturdy pull-up bar.

  • Reach up and grasp the bar with a supinated grip (palms facing towards your body), hands shoulder-width apart.

Execution

  • Pull yourself up until your chin clears the bar. You can jump slightly to reach this position if necessary.

  • Maintain a static hold at the top of the movement with elbows fully flexed and tucked close to your torso.

  • Keep your shoulders depressed (down and away from your ears) and your core engaged to minimize swinging.

  • Hold this position for the desired duration or until failure, ensuring your body remains as still as possible.
