Barbell Seated Alternate Leg Raise
Seated leaning back with a barbell held overhead on straight arms, the straight legs rise and lower one after the other.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the floor leaning back a little, legs straight, a light barbell pressed overhead.
Steps
- Raise one straight leg high while the other stays low.
- Switch legs in the air without letting either touch down.
- Keep the bar locked over the shoulders the whole set.
Common mistakes
Bar drifting forward as the legs rise: keep it stacked over the shoulders. Leaning back further to lift higher: hold the trunk angle. Bending the knees: keep the legs long.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
