Muscles at work
Make every rep count.
- 01
Start hanging from the bar in a false grip (wrists over the bar), shoulders active (don’t shrug and hang loose), legs steady.
- 02
Pull hard: drive your elbows down and back, bringing your chest up and slightly behind the bar—keep the bar close to your body.
- 03
As your chest reaches the bar and the pull starts to slow, transition quickly: lean your torso forward, rotate your wrists over, and bring your elbows up and around the bar.
- 04
Land in a solid top support and move straight into the dip: chest up, elbows tracking back, then press to full lockout.
- 05
To come down, reverse under control: tip forward, “flip” the elbows back behind you, and lower into the pull-up position.
- 06
Lower slowly to a dead hang with control, reset your shoulders and grip, and repeat for your target reps.
