- Hang on a pull up bar, hands with an overhand grip (palms above the bar) and more than your shoulder width apart.
- Keeping your body straight and without momentum, move your body up with your arms until your chest is near the bar (or a little lower, depending on your morphology).
- Hold the position for one second then slowly go back to the starting position, but do not fully stretch the arms.
