How to perform it
Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended and your palms facing away from you. Engage your core and lift your legs up towards the bar, keeping them straight. Continue lifting until your body forms a 'V' shape, with your legs parallel to the ground. Hold the position for a moment, then slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
