Hanging Knees to Elbows
Hanging from a bar, draw the knees up past the chest until they touch the elbows, the pelvis curling all the way.
How to do it
Setup
Dead hang from a bar, hands shoulder-width, arms straight, legs together.
Steps
- Pull the knees up and in, rolling the pelvis toward the chest.
- Touch the knees to the elbows, the lats pressing the bar down.
- Lower the legs under control to a still hang.
Common mistakes
Stopping at hip height: that is the knee raise; the knees go on to the elbows. Swinging into the next rep: pause in a still hang first. Bending the arms to meet the knees: arms stay long; the hips travel.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
