Half Front Lever Pull

  1. Begin from a shoulder-width dead hang with an overgrip (palms away).
  2. With a straight body and without the use of any momentum, pull your chin over the bar.
  3. Pause briefly at the top and then extend your arms straight, allowing your body to press back to a front lever.
  4. Once in the front lever, lower back down to hanging.
  5. Avoid the use of any momentum and keep your body straight, with posterior pelvic tilt throughout.
  6. Once your elbows straighten, they should not bend again during the descent.
  7. Achieve a still dead hang at the bottom and repeat for reps.
