How to do it

  1. 1

    Attach a climbing rope to a high beam or cross member. Below it, ensure that the smith machine bar is locked in place with the safeties and cannot move. Alternatively, a secure box could also be utilized.

  2. 2

    Stand on the bar, using the rope to balance yourself. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Keeping your body straight, lean back and lower your body by slowly going hand over hand with the rope. Continue until you are perpendicular to the ground.

  4. 4

    Keeping your body straight, reverse the motion, going hand over hand back to the starting position.
