Technique

  1. Get into an Inverted hang on rings or a bar: hanging upside down with your body vertical, feet pointing up and arms straight.
  2. Bend your arms to pull your body up as high as you can, keeping the body vertical.
  3. Lower back down with control until your arms are straight.

Form tips

  1. Keep your legs together and your body tight so you do not swing or tilt.

Risks

  1. Hanging upside down puts pressure on the head; build up time in the Inverted hang first and come down slowly if you get dizzy.
