    How to: Hanging Front Lever Hold

    1. Hang from a bar with an overhand grip.
    2. Pull your body up while keeping your legs extended in front of you.
    3. Hold your body in a straight line parallel to the ground, engaging your core and back.
    4. Maintain this position for the desired amount of time.

    Common Mistakes

    • Arching the back during the hold.
    • Not engaging the core properly.
    • Letting the legs sag instead of keeping them straight.

    Modifications

    • Begin with a tucked position to gradually build strength.
    • Use resistance bands to support your legs until you develop sufficient strength.

    Tips

    • Keep your back straight and core tight throughout the movement.
    • Engage your shoulder blades down and back.
    • Ensure your legs are fully extended without arching your back excessively.
