How to perform

  1. 1

    Take a pronated grip on a pull-up bar.

  2. 2

    From a hanging position, raise yourself a few inches without using your arms. Do this by depressing your shoulder girdle in a reverse shrugging motion.

  3. 3

    Pause at the completion of the movement, and then slowly return to the starting position before performing more repetitions.

Important tips

  • Initiate every pull from your shoulder blades, not your hands.

  • Keep your torso still — no swinging for extra reps.

  • Pause briefly at full contraction before returning.
