How to perform

Attach weight using a dip belt or vest. Grip the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width. Engage your core and retract shoulder blades. Pull yourself up until your chin clears the bar, squeezing your back muscles. Lower with control until arms are fully extended. Repeat.

Muscles Worked

Latissimus dorsi

Tips

Securely fasten added weight. Maintain a straight line from head to heels by engaging your core. Avoid swinging; focus on controlled movements. Start with lighter weight if new to the exercise. Keep shoulders away from your ears. Exhale on the pull, inhale on the descent.
