Exercise
Archer pull up
Archer pull up is a demanding exercise. It trains back.
Detailed explanation
Start by hanging from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Engage your core and pull your shoulder blades down and back.
As you pull yourself up, bend one arm and bring your elbow towards your side, while keeping the other arm straight. Lower yourself back down with control, straightening the bent arm and repeating the movement on the other side.
