How to perform

Grip a pull-up bar with an underhand grip, shoulder-width apart. Initiate the pull from a dead hang or use a jump/box/band for assistance. At the top, ensure your chin clears the bar, elbows bent. Maintain a strong grip, engage your core and glutes to stabilize, and breathe consistently. Lower slowly.
