Captain's Chair Leg Raise

The same station with the legs straight – a longer lever and a much harder rep.

How to do it

Setup

Same station, legs hanging STRAIGHT.

Steps

  1. Raise the straight legs to horizontal or above.
  2. Curl the hips for the final degrees.
  3. Lower with control against the long lever.

Common mistakes

Knees bending under the lever: bend them on purpose or go back to knee raises. Momentum: stillness between reps. Back arching off the rest: press it back.

Breathing

Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
