Negative Front Lever Raise
The front lever raise done as a slow lowering: from an inverted hang, the straight body lowers under the bar to horizontal as slowly as it can.
How to do it
Setup
Hanging from a bar, overhand grip, the body inverted and straight with the feet above the hips.
Steps
- Lower the straight body slowly away from the bar, arms locked.
- Stop when the body is level under the bar and hold a beat.
- Tuck the knees and roll back up to the inverted hang.
Common mistakes
Dropping fast through the bottom: the slow lowering is the whole exercise. Bending the arms: they stay locked; the lats do the work. Hips sagging below the line: squeeze the glutes and keep the body straight.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
