  2. Grasp the bar with arms slightly wider than shoulder width.
  3. Put your feet out in front of you so that your upper chest is directly under the bar.
  4. Keep your body straight and pull yourself up as far as possible. The bar should come to around upper chest/neck height.
  5. Pause, and then slowly lower your self  back to the starting position.
