General And Specifics
- make sure that the door (no glass) and the anchorage are solid enough to carry your body weight
- otherwise you better go over to other back workouts without doors as tool
- the door is not allowed to swing and there has to be enough space between door and ceiling
Starting Position
- open the door and grasp the ends of the towel with both hands
- position the sling over the edge of the door
- the backs of the hands point outwards
- brace the upper body completely
- let the body hang down with bent arms (slightly) and legs
- chest, abs and thighs touch the door now
Correct Execution
- bend your arms and pull yourself up as high as possible
- the legs remain bent and do not gain momentum
- hold the final position for a wink of an eye
- stretch the arms back into the starting position slowly
- repeat execution several times
tip for the workout
- to impede this exercise, you can use a filled backpack or weight cuffs as an additional weight
