How to perform

Grip the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width. Hang with straight arms, engage your shoulders, brace your core, and retract the shoulder blades. Pull by driving your elbows down and back until your chest reaches the bar while keeping your torso stable. Lower under control to full arm extension, maintaining shoulder engagement before starting the next repetition.
