How to do it

1. Hang from a bar with an overhand grip and straight arms, shoulders packed down.
2. Brace your core and pull your straight body up until it is horizontal and parallel to the floor.
3. Keep your arms locked and drive your hips up using your lats, not momentum.
4. Lower back to the dead hang under control and repeat.

Form tips

• Keep your arms perfectly straight and pull from the lats and lower chest.
• Posteriorly tilt your pelvis and squeeze your glutes to stop your hips sagging.
• Tuck the knees to regress the movement if you cannot hold a straight body.
