Instructions
- 1
Start by hanging from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 2
Engage your core and use a swinging motion to generate momentum.
- 3
As you swing forward, pull your chest towards the bar, using your lats and biceps to initiate the movement.
- 4
Continue the upward motion until your chest reaches the bar, then transition into a dip position by pushing down on the bar and extending your arms.
- 5
Lower yourself back down to the starting position by bending your arms and controlling the descent.
- 6
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Pro tips
- Move through the full range of motion under control.
- Keep tension on the target muscle — avoid using momentum.
- Breathe out on the effort, in on the return.
- Pick a weight that lets you keep clean form for every rep.
Common mistakes
- Using too much weight and sacrificing technique.
- Rushing reps instead of controlling the tempo.
- Cutting the range of motion short.
- Holding your breath throughout the set.
Safety notes
- Warm up thoroughly before working heavy.
- Stop immediately if you feel sharp or joint pain.
- Use a spotter or safeties for heavy barbell work.
