How to perform Bodyweight Tuck Front Lever Row with proper form
Starting Position
- Grip: Hang from a bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip and straight arms.
- Tuck: Pull your knees toward your chest and lift your hips until your torso is horizontal, back facing the floor.
- Body: Brace your core and squeeze your lats to hold the tucked lever steady.
Movement
-
Pulling Phase:
- Keep your torso horizontal as you drive your elbows down and back.
- Pull your chest up toward the bar without dropping your hips.
-
Lowering Phase:
- Lower under control back to the horizontal tuck position over 2-3 seconds.
- Keep your knees tucked and your body parallel to the floor throughout.
Key Points
- Keep your body horizontal, not vertical - this is a row, not a pull-up.
- Don't let your hips sag or pike as you pull.
- Retract your shoulder blades to load the lats instead of just bending the arms.
