Inverted Hollow to German Hang Pull-Out

Technique

How to perform German Hang Pullout

1. Use a pull-up bar or rings with the existing overhand setup and enter an inverted hang.
2. With straight elbows, lower into the full German-hang starting position rather than stopping at horizontal.
3. Keep your legs together and your hips extended so the working pullout remains straight-bodied.
4. Raise your hips and legs together, rotating the body upward through horizontal without tucking or bending your elbows.
5. Continue to a vertical inverted hang.
6. If repeating the sequence, control the return to the same German-hang start instead of dropping into it.
