Description
Start in an inverted hang position with your arms completely locked. Keep your body in a perfectly straight line from head to toe. Slowly lower your body while maintaining total body tension, focusing on the descent through the horizontal plane. Control the movement using your lats and core to resist gravity. Aim for a slow, consistent tempo until you reach a dead hang.
