How to do it

1. Hang from a bar with an overhand grip about twice shoulder width.
2. Pull yourself up toward one hand, bending that elbow while the other arm straightens out along the bar.
3. Bring your chin over the working hand, then lower under control to a full hang.
4. Alternate sides each rep, or finish all reps on one side before switching.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Archer Pull-Up from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Lats volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
