How to do it

Jump or step up until your chin is over the bar. Lower yourself as slowly as you can, about three to five seconds, until your arms are straight. Step back up and start the next rep at the top.

Target range

Aim for 3 to 6 reps in each set.

Ready for the next step

When you reach 6 reps in every set, you are ready for the next level: Chin-ups.

Step 3 in the Pull-up progression, which runs from easier to harder.
