Instructions
1. Begin by hanging from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, arms fully extended, and body in a straight line.
2. Engage your core and pull your shoulder blades down and back to prepare for the lift.
3. Keeping your body straight and rigid, initiate the movement by driving your hips upward while simultaneously leaning back.
4. Continue to raise your body until it is parallel to the ground, maintaining straight arms and legs. Your body should form a straight line from head to toes, resembling a human lever.
5. Hold the front lever position for a brief moment, aiming for isometric tension on your core and back muscles.
6. With control, reverse the movement by lowering your body back to the initial hanging position.
7. Focus on performing the movement with control and precision rather than speed.
8. Rest briefly and prepare for the next repetition.
It is important to note that performing a Hanging Front Lever Raise requires significant strength, control, and experience with bodyweight exercises. Only attempt this motion if you are already well-practiced in calisthenics or have sufficient strength to avoid injury. Beginners should start with the progressions and assistance as needed.
