Active Arch Hang

Cues:

  • Pull with 100% straight arms by retracting and depressing the scaps
  • The goal is to pull the chest to horizontal and maximize scap retraction
  • Allow the legs to relax and hang straight down
  • Minimize lat assistance and focus on scaps
  • Pull only to the height you are able to with scap activation

Mistakes:

  • Bending the elbows
  • Overusing the lats to compensate for poor scap retraction
  • Raising the legs in front
