How to Perform
- 1
Hang from a bar with an overhand grip and raise your legs straight out in front to hip height.
- 2
Hold the L position with your toes pointed and legs together.
- 3
Pull until your chin clears the bar without letting the legs drop.
- 4
Lower under control, still holding the L.
Tips
- ★The legs dropping is the end of the set, even if you could pull another rep.
- ★Tuck the knees instead of straight legs to scale it down.
