How to Perform

  1. 1

    Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, arms fully extended.

  2. 2

    Allow your body to hang relaxed (dead hang).

  3. 3

    Without bending your elbows, initiate the movement by depressing and retracting your shoulder blades (pulling them down and back).

  4. 4

    Feel the contraction in your upper back as your body lifts slightly.

  5. 5

    Hold the top position briefly, then slowly release back to the dead hang position.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
