TECHNIQUE: Stand underneath the pull up bar with yours arms full extended. Grip the bar shoulder width with the fingers and thumbs fully around the bar. Keep core engaged and lats active as you grip the bar. ADVANTAGES: The bent arm hang is great for building up lat strength and grip strength. FAULTS: Common faults for this movement include narrow grip (less than shoulder width) , arms straight (no lat engagement) ,and no core resulting in swinging of the body. SCALING: Movement can be regressed by adding a resistance band around the bar to lower the tension on the shoulders and grip. Loop the band around the bar then firmly place one of your knees in the band.
