Latissimus

Inverted Hang with gym rings

The inverted hang lift is an effective exercise for strengthening the latissimus and abdominal muscles. This exercise is typically performed on gymnastic rings. When done on a pull-up bar, the inverted hang becomes slightly more challenging because you can't keep your legs completely vertical due to the bar. The lift is an excellent preparatory exercise for the Skin The Cat.
