- Begin in an inverted hang on the rings with a straight body.
- Achieve a posterior pelvic tilt (PPT) and maintain it throughout this exercise.
- With as much control as possible, lower your body down through a bent-arm front lever and then up to a chin hang.
- Simultaneously bend your elbows and pull upward as your body rotates 180-degrees, from inverted to upright.
- Keeping a straight body line and PPT (no piking your hips), reverse the motion back to the inverted hang.
