Pull to Inverted Hang on Bars

Description:

Pull to Inverted Hang on Bars is an upper body strengthening exercise that effectively engages the lats, core, and shoulder stabilizers.  Because the body must remain straight during both the ascension and descension phase, this exercise requires strong mid-section strength.  Scale by performing milk makers on bars.

Process:

• begin on a bar in a long hang position and tighten core
• engage the lats to close the shoulder angle and elevate feet
• continue to pull by engaging lats and using shoulders until feet are at the top
• slowly lower the body to original position using a controlled movement
• body must remain tight and straight during the entire movement
