L Pull-up

How to do it

Pull your shoulder blades down and back before bending your elbows.

1. 1

   Hang from a pull-up bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

2. 2

   Extend your legs straight out in front of you to form an 'L' shape with your body.

3. 3

   Pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar, keeping your legs lifted.

4. 4

   Lower yourself back down to the starting position with control.

5. 5

   Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
