Attach a V-bar attachment to a secure pull up bar, making sure the handles are each side of the bar.

START
FINISH

Commence the exercise with your arms straight, having your body straight directly under your hands.

Slightly arch your spine as you raise up taking your chin up towards the bar, or alternatively increase the exercise difficulty by lifting your chin over the bar at one side, returning back down, and repeating again on the other-side.

As with most strength exercises, focus on keeping the movement smooth and under control, avoiding any major swinging or jerking movements.

Some people will find it natural to either bend or cross the legs, however care should be taken when returning back to the ground, making sure that you land firmly on both feet.

Make sure that both your hands and the bar are dry, aiming to perform the desired amount of reps in good form.

The exercise can be made harder by attaching a belt weight around your waist, or alternatively have a partner place a suitable dumbbell between your thighs or feet.
