Lats · Biceps · Middle back · Shoulders · Forearms · Bodyweight

How to do it

  1. Hang from a pull-up bar with a full grip.
  2. Pull explosively, driving the elbows back and slightly out rather than straight down.
  3. Continue pulling until the chest, not just the chin, makes contact with the bar.
  4. Lower back to a full hang under control.
  5. Repeat for reps.
