Chest-to-bar pull-up
A pull-up with more range: not the chin but the lower chest touches the bar. Elbows travel far back, the trunk leans away. A step toward the muscle-up.

Technique
- Start from a full hang, initiate with the shoulder blades.
- Drive the elbows back and down, chest comes to the bar, eyes slightly up.
- Touch the bar with the sternum, pause, lower slowly.
Common mistakes
- Kipping for the extra centimetres: the range should come from strength.
- Reaching the chin for the bar instead of the chest.
