How to do it

  1. Hang from the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than your shoulders.
  2. Build a slight swing and pull explosively, driving your chest to the bar.
  3. When your chest reaches bar height, rotate your wrists over the bar.
  4. Make the transition from a pull to a push over the bar.
  5. Extend your arms at the top and lower under control back to the hang.

Common mistakes

  • Pulling weakly and not bringing the chest to the bar
  • Using an uncontrolled hip kip
