Technique

How to perform Archer Pull-Up

1. Grasp a pull-up bar with a wide overhand grip and hang with both elbows straight.
2. Keep your body steady as you pull your chest toward one hand, bending that elbow while the other arm stays nearly straight.
3. Continue upward toward the working hand without kicking or swinging.
4. Lower along the same path under control until both elbows are straight again.
5. Repeat from the hang on the other side, or finish the intended repetitions before changing sides.
6. Do not travel across the bar at the top; that is the separate typewriter variation.
