Power (back, width) — a rep-total PR.

Execution

Full hang to chest towards the bar, driving the elbows down and back. Run three sets to failure and chase the total rep count across all three. When you hit 50 total reps, add weight; until then, the reps are the record.

The cue that matters

Lead with the elbows into the ribs and think about the lats, not the arms.

Common mistake

Half-rep kipping to pad the count; a short, swung rep doesn't build the lat.
