On a low bar: the jump helps the pull while you learn the wrist roll over the bar and the press out. Jump less and less over time.

Technique

  1. Bar at forehead height, overhand grip, thumbs over the bar.
  2. Bend the legs, jump and immediately drive the elbows back, chest over the bar.
  3. Press out to support, come down slowly, land softly.

Common mistakes

  • The jump does all the work: shorten it until the legs only help a little.
  • Letting go on the way down: the negative is half the value of the drill.
