Pull Ups.

A move everyone should be doing a variety of. Classic test of strength & terrific back builder.

1) Utilise a pronated/overhand grip. 
2) Pull up focussing on using the lats. Think pulling through your elbows rather than hands. 
3) You should be aiming to have a slight angle in your body. Think lower chest to the bar. 
4) From @bretcontreras1 'a little “English” is acceptable, but try to minimize lumbar hypertension/anterior pelvic tilt and swaying at the hips by thinking of the exercise as a “moving plank.” This increases the challenge for the core and the upper body muscles.'
5) The above applies to 95% of cases. However, when doing say a weighted pull up the "moving plank" position isn't typically achievable.
Get pulling!
