Weighted Hanging Leg-Hip Raise
The hanging knee raise with a dumbbell held between the feet; the extra weight at the far end makes every tuck heavier.
How to do it
Setup
Hang from the bar, shoulders set, a dumbbell gripped upright between the feet.
Steps
- Draw the knees up toward the chest, the bell held tight between the feet.
- Curl the hips up at the top.
- Lower to a full hang without letting the bell swing.
Common mistakes
Dumbbell slipping from the feet: squeeze it hard and start light over a clear floor. Swinging to lift the weight: stop dead at the bottom of each rep. Stopping at hip height: finish with the hips curled up.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
