How to do it
Keep your legs pressed firmly together throughout each repetition.
- 1
Grip the rings with your palms facing each other.
- 2
Hang with your arms fully extended, legs straight and feet off the ground.
- 3
Pull yourself up by driving your elbows down to your sides until your chin is above the rings.
- 4
Lower yourself back down with control to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Focus on pulling with your elbows rather than your hands to fully engage the lats and minimize bicep involvement.
