How to perform

Grip a pull-up bar with shoulder-width, palms forward. Engage core and lats to lift into a horizontal front lever position. Pull up by bending elbows, chest to bar. Lower with control back to the front lever. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain a straight, parallel body throughout. Engage core and lats for stability. Beginners: start with tuck front lever pull-ups. Use assistance (spotter/bands) if needed. Strengthen core with planks and hollow holds.
