Pullover

  1. Begin from approximately a shoulder-width dead hang on a pull-up bar with an overgrip (palms away).
  2. With a straight body and without the use of any momentum, pull your chin over the bar.
  3. Hold your body as high as possible as you lift your legs up and over the bar.
  4. As your legs come back down on the other side, press your body up to support with straight elbows.
  5. Reverse the pullover, controlling the motion all the way back to dead hang.
