Step-by-step
- Hang from the bar at shoulder width and build a slight front-to-back swing
- Pull explosively to bring your chest above bar level
- At the top of the pull, quickly roll your elbows over the bar for the transition
- With your chest over the bar, lock out your arms as in a dip
- Reverse the phases to come down under control
Coaching tip
Using a false grip (wrist over the bar) makes the transition phase much easier.
