How to do it
- Hang from an overhead bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip and arms fully extended.
- Brace your core and lift your legs together, tucking your knees toward your chest to start the roll.
- Continue the rotation by driving your hips and legs up and over, rolling backward until your feet point toward the floor behind you.
- Keep the shoulders active and the lats engaged to control the descent rather than letting momentum take over.
- Reverse the motion smoothly, rolling the hips back through to the starting hang position.
- Exhale through the roll-over and inhale as you return, keeping the movement slow and controlled throughout.
