How to perform Bodyweight Tuck Front Lever Row with proper form

Starting Position

  1. Grip: Hang from a bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip and straight arms.
  2. Tuck: Pull your knees toward your chest and lift your hips until your torso is horizontal, back facing the floor.
  3. Body: Brace your core and squeeze your lats to hold the tucked lever steady.

Movement

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
