Hanging Leg Raise

Set-up

• Hang from a pull-up bar with straight arms and legs together.

How to do it

1. Keeping your legs as straight as you can, raise them in front of you to at least hip height.
2. Pause briefly.
3. Lower them slowly to the start.

Coaching cues

• Curl your pelvis up as your legs rise.
• No swinging between reps.

Common mistakes

• Using momentum from a swing.
• Letting the knees bend as you tire, which turns it into a knee raise.

Safety

• If straight legs are too hard, do hanging knee raises instead.
