How to do it
Hang from a bar.
Perform a scapular protraction, so that the upper back is rounded, and a scapular depression, so that the shoulders lower and you engage the lats.
As for the core, engage the abdominals, glutes, and hamstring muscles so that you execute a posterior pelvic tilt and keep the lumbar area without arching.
Keep the legs straight and tense so that the entire body forms a compact block.
