What Front Lever Raise trains
Technique
How to do the Front Lever Raise
- Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands about shoulder-width apart, and arms fully extended.
- Keeping your arms straight and your body rigid, pull your shoulder blades down and drive your body upward and backward until it is horizontal and face-up, in a straight line from shoulders to toes.
- Pause briefly in the horizontal position.
- Lower your body back to the hanging position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Initiate the movement by pressing down on the bar with straight arms, using your lats and core.
- Keep your body in one rigid line; do not let your hips pike or sag.
- Lower yourself slowly to build strength through the full range of motion.
- Start with tucked-knee raises and progress gradually to the straight-body version.
