How to do it
- Grip a pull-up bar with palms forward and hang with straight arms.
- Keeping your arms straight, pull your shoulders down away from your ears so your body rises a little.
- Hold for a moment, then let your shoulders rise slowly back up.
Beginner tip: It's a small movement; don't bend your elbows at all.
