How to do it

Take a neutral grip on the pull-up bar, allowing your arms to hang freely with elbows extended. This will be your starting position. Begin by pulling yourself up, flexing the elbows and extending the glenohumeral joint. Avoid swinging or using momentum to complete the movement. Strive to bring your chin above your hands. Pause briefly at the top of the motion before slowly lowering yourself back to the starting position.
