How to do it

Drive your elbows forcefully down and back to power the initial pull.

  1. 1

    Hang from a special bar with a false grip (wrists over the bar).

  2. 2

    Pull your body up with a strong pull-up motion.

  3. 3

    As you reach the top of the pull-up, transition into a dip by rolling your chest over the bar.

  4. 4

    Press your body up until your arms are straight.

  5. 5

    Lower yourself back down with control and repeat.

Expert tip

Transition smoothly from the pull-up to the dip by focusing on a strong 'snap' of the hips and a rapid turnover of the wrists.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Kipping hard with bent knees in the pull
  • ✕Stopping the pull below the lower chest
  • ✕Failing to lock out elbows at the top
