Technique

How to perform Lat Inhibition Hang

  1. Take a secure overhand grip on a pull-up bar with your hands about shoulder-width apart.
  2. Keep your arms overhead and either lift your feet clear or leave your toes lightly supported on the floor.
  3. Keep your grip secure while allowing your shoulders and shoulder blades to rise into the overhead position.
  4. Let your body settle into a controlled stretch without forcing your ribs forward or arching farther through your back.
  5. Hold the position and breathe normally; a small controlled side shift is optional rather than the main movement.
  6. Return your weight to your feet before releasing the bar.
