  • Start by gripping the bar with your palms facing away from you, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  • Hang from the bar with your arms fully extended, engaging your shoulder blades by gently pulling them down and back (think “set your shoulders”).
  • Brace your core to keep your body steady and avoid swinging.
  • Initiate the movement by pulling your chest towards the bar, driving your elbows down towards your ribs.
  • Continue pulling until your chin clears the bar, keeping your chest open and shoulders away from your ears.
  • Lower yourself with control back to the starting position, fully extending your elbows while maintaining shoulder stability.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
