Hanging Leg Raise
Hanging from the bar, raise the straight legs to horizontal and lower with control.
How to do it
Setup
Dead hang, shoulders active, body quiet.
Steps
- Raise the STRAIGHT legs to horizontal or higher.
- Curl the hips at the top for the abs.
- Lower slowly without swinging.
Common mistakes
Knees bending as fatigue builds: bend them deliberately or end the set; no in-between. Swinging into momentum: dead stop between reps. Skipping the hip curl: thighs-only lifts stay hip-flexor work.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
