Technique

  1. Overhand grip at shoulder width, body in a line from heels to head.
  2. Pull the shoulder blades together and bring the chest to the bar, elbows travel back.
  3. Pause for a second at the top, then lower under control.

Common mistakes

  • Hips sagging: the exercise becomes arms only.
  • Range too short: the chest should almost touch the bar.
