How to do it

  1. Start by hanging from a bar with your arms fully extended and your body straight.

  2. Pull yourself up explosively, transitioning from a pull-up to a dip position above the bar.

  3. Push your body up until your arms are fully extended above the bar.

  4. Lower yourself back down to the starting hanging position in a controlled manner. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Engage your core and maintain a straight body line to ensure proper form.

  • Use an explosive pull-up motion to help transition from below the bar to above the bar.

  • Focus on a controlled descent to avoid straining your muscles and joints.
