These must be done on a bar that is just out of reach when you are standing up straight with your arms extended upwards. Grasp the bar a little wider than shoulder width apart. Your palms can face away or towards you. Away works your back more, towards works your arms more. Once in this position, your feet should hang freely and not touch the ground. Pull yourself up in a controlled manner until your chin is above the bar. Lower yourself down until your arms are locked. This is one repetition. Try to keep your elbows in and prevent from swaying.
