Rig Front Lever

Video coming soon...

The rig front lever workout is designed to primarily engage the lats and abs.

The rig provides a stable platform for performing front lever variations, targeting these specific muscles.

Exercises like front lever holds, tuck front levers, and advanced progressions challenge the lats and abs.

While other muscles may be activated, the rig’s primary role is to focus on these key muscle groups.

Stand facing the rig, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Reach up and grab the bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Engage your core and pull your shoulder blades down and back.
While keeping your body straight, lean back, extending your legs in front of you.
Continue leaning back until your body is parallel to the ground, with your legs fully extended.
Hold this position for the desired duration, focusing on engaging your abdominal and back muscles.
To return to the starting position, reverse the movement by pulling yourself back up to the rig, using your core and back muscles.

Focus on proper scapular engagement: To effectively engage your lats during the rig Front lever exercise, it is crucial to initiate the movement by retracting and depressing your shoulder blades. Imagine pulling your shoulder blades down towards your back pockets, creating a strong foundation for your entire upper body.
Activate your core like a powerhouse: Your abs play a vital role in maintaining a stable and controlled position during the Front lever. To maximize their engagement, envision drawing your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong and tight core. This will not only enhance your form but also protect your lower back from unnecessary strain.
Master the art of body tension: Achieving a perfect Front lever requires exceptional body tension. Imagine your body as a solid, straight line from your head to your toes. Engage every muscle fiber, from your shoulders down to your feet, as if you were trying to squeeze every ounce of strength out of your body. This will result in a more stable and controlled hold.
Progress gradually and safely: Building strength for the Front lever takes time and patience. Start with easier progressions, such as tuck or advanced tuck Front levers, before attempting the full variation. This will allow your muscles to adapt and strengthen gradually, reducing the risk of injury. Remember, slow and steady progress is far better than rushing and risking setbacks.
Stay consistent and embrace the journey
