Keep the body in a plank position (i.e. straight line from ear, shoulder, hip and ankle) throughout the movement. Initiate the movement by retracting the shoulder blades (i.e. squeezing the shoulder blades towards the spine) and then pulling from the lats and lastly, the biceps. Think about keeping the glutes squeezed and core engaged during the entire movement. Slowly lower back to the starting position to resist gravity and increase the time-under-tension.

Add a goblet hold (dumbbell or kettlebell) to add more intensity.
But, do not add more load if you cannot keep full range of motion (i.e. 90 degrees for the loading leg).
