Instructions

Setup

  • Stand directly beneath a secure pull-up bar.

  • Reach up and grasp the bar with a pronated grip (palms facing away), slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

Execution

  • Engage your core and glutes to stabilize your body.

  • Execute an explosive pull-up until your chin clears the bar.

  • Hold this top position steady.

  • Ensure your neck is relaxed and your gaze is fixed ahead.

  • Keep your elbows tucked in close to your sides, engaging the back muscles fully.

  • Maintain the squeeze on the bar and keep the body rigid throughout the desired duration.
