Stand facing the straps and grasp the handles firmly with an overhand grip, keep your feet slightly forward and your body in a straight line.

2

Begin the exercise by pulling your body up towards the handles, bending at the elbows and focusing on squeezing your shoulder blades together.

3

Once you've lifted your body as high as you can, hold the position for a moment, ensuring your chest is close to the handles.

Gradually lower your body back to the starting position in a controlled manner, fully extending your arms, and repeat the process for your desired number of repetitions.

Pro Tip

**Grip Strength**: Make sure your grip on the suspension trainer is firm but not overly tight. A common mistake is gripping too hard, which can lead to forearm fatigue before your back and arms are fully worked. **Engage Your Core**: Engage your core muscles throughout the exercise. This will not only help maintain your body position but also work your abdominal muscles. A common mistake is to focus solely on the pulling motion and forget about the core. **Controlled Movements**: Perform each rep with slow, controlled movements. Avoid the common mistake of rushing through the exercise, which can lead to improper form and potential injury. **
