Australian pull-ups

Lie down under a high bar or suspension bar, positioned at an appropriate height. Position yourself on your back under the bar, gripping the bar with a supinated grip (palms facing you). Adjust your position so that your body is aligned straight from head to toe. Arms should be fully extended, shoulders stabilized, and legs aligned with the rest of the body. Bend your elbows and pull your chest towards the bar, contracting your back muscles. Imagine you're trying to bring your shoulder blades...
