Instructions:

  • 1Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended
  • 2Raise your legs straight out in front of you, keeping a 90-degree bend at the waist
  • 3Pull your body up until your chin is over the bar
  • 4Lower your body until your arms and legs are straight again
  • 5Try to maintain the 90-degree angle in your hips throughout the exercise

Tips:

  • Engage your core throughout the exercise to help keep your legs elevated
  • Avoid using momentum to ride up; focus instead on using your back and arms to lift your body
  • Take a brief pause at the top for maximum engagement of the muscles
  • Your body may sway slightly, but try to keep this as minimal as possible
