How to perform

Grip the wall bars with one hand high and the other low, then brace your core and pull your shoulders down. Use a controlled kick to lift into a straddle human flag, keeping your arms locked, torso horizontal, and legs extended. Hold the position with full-body tension, then lower yourself slowly under control.
