Instructions

Why: This one isn't for the faint of heart, and it's certainly not easy. It will force you to remove any kipping or rocking from your chin up. Build up to it—if you dare.

How to Do It:

  • Set up your chaos band overhead.

  • Grab on, and pull your legs up to where you create a 90 degree bend through the hips. Maintain this position.

  • Pull your elbows back and down to bring your chin up to the band. Squeeze the abs and core tight, aiming not to move any other part of the body.

  • If the leg hold feels too difficult, tuck your knees back towards your chest. You’ll still be working your abs, with less pull of gravity.

Sets and Reps: Do 3 sets of 4 to 6 reps
