Instructions
- 1Stand underneath a pull-up bar, reach up, jump, and take hold of it with a double overhand grip (palms facing forward).
- 2As you take hold of the bar, brace your core, have your shoulder blades back, and keep your hips slightly flexed, legs straight, and feet together.
- 3As your body beings to swing back, pull yourself up as powerfully as possible, aiming to bring your body back and around the pull-up bar. The momentum should carry you high enough for your chest to end up slightly above the bar.
- 4Perform a straight bar dip to extend your elbows, exhaling near the top.
- 5Lower yourself by bending your elbows and moving your body down from the bar.
- 6Swing back and forth to create momentum and begin the next repetition just as your body starts swinging back.
