Exercise Steps

	Hang from a Pull Up Bar with your hands at shoulder width apart. Use a bar that's high enough to allow your whole body to hang without touching the ground.
	Slowly raise your knees up towards your chest and crunch your core at the top of each rep.
	Slowly lower your legs and try to keep swinging to a minimum. Pause briefly at the bottom of the rep and repeat.
	Make sure that each rep is controlled and swing as little as possible as you perform the reps. If you're looking to focus on grip strength, perform reps for time, and perform each rep as slowly as possible.
