Raise your knees up to your chest while simultaneously pulling your chest to the height of the bar.
As you reach this height loosen your grip to rotate your hands around the bar as you commence a bodyweight dip.
Push through the triceps to extend your arms while your torso is above the pull-up bar.
Slowly reverse the movement (perform a dip negative before lowering your arms back down to a dead hang).
