Description

The Front Lever is one of the more advanced static calisthenics skills that involves holding yourself horizontally above the ground.

Exercise

Front Lever

Type: Bilateral Rest: 180s Equipment: Klimmzugstange

Tutorial

1

Grip the bar/rings and bring your body into a horizontal position with your arms straight and legs bent.
2

As soon as the body is horizontal to the floor, the static hold begins. Depending on the level, extend your legs or keep them bent.
3

As soon as you have reached the specified time, set off again.

Tip

Make sure you choose a progression that you can hold well! Before you approach this exercise, the "Skin the Cat" exercise should be perfect! Keep your butt and stomach tight throughout the movement and make sure you are not hunched over. Try to actively pull your shoulder blades down.
