How to do it

  1. Attach a weight to a dip belt and secure it around your waist.
  2. Grab the pull-up bar with the palms facing your torso and a grip closer than shoulder width. Hang with both arms fully extended. This is your starting position.
  3. Exhale and pull your torso up, keeping your elbows close to your body, until your chin clears the bar.
  4. After a brief pause in the contracted position, inhale and slowly lower yourself back to the starting position with your arms fully extended.
  5. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
