Grip a pull-up bar with your palms facing away from you
Hang with your arms fully extended
Engage your core and keep your body steady
Pull your shoulder blades down and back
Pull your chest toward the bar
Keep your elbows driving down toward your sides
Lift until your chin is above the bar
Lower yourself slowly back to the starting position
Repeat with control
Use assistance or negatives if you cannot do a full pull-up yet
