This horizontal pull variation challenges your mid-back strength and body control using creative bodyweight positioning.
Instructions
- Take a medium to wide grip on a pull-up bar with your palms facing away.
- From a hanging position, tuck your knees to your chest and swing your legs over the front of the bar, leaning back to suspend yourself.
- With arms extended, pull your body upward by bending the elbows and retracting the shoulder blades until your legs contact the bar.
- Pause briefly, then lower yourself back to the starting position with control.
