  • You will struggle to find an exercise that develops the abdominals in the way the hanging leg raise does. But what if you can’t feel hanging leg raises in your abs?
    Today we are going to dig into the common reasons why you may not be getting the most out of this exercise (including how to stop swinging in the hanging leg raise), and so much more!

    Brilliant video sir.
    Simple, yet super effective.
    The fact you paid special attention to the ranges of motion that make all the difference, speaks volumes about your knowledge.
    ..I think the adductors when properly recruited are an extension of the core..
    How I position my legs when hanging makes a WORLD of difference being over 6’5, especially when I use bars that hang high enough
    Keep up the innovation bro. 🫡👊

    Thoroughly enjoyed that. Lots of good tips. I am looking for alternative ab exercises to avoid doing the floor belly crunches because I have chronic acid-reflux and the doctor has forbidden me to do any form of belly crunch or leg raise or any inverted position. So, as you see, I am in a bit of a fix here. These exercises you have just performed could be a way of keeping up with my fitness without worrying about my GERD: gastro - esophageal-relux-disease.
    Thanks very much, and would appreciate a few more exercises in hanging position to compensate for the ones I cannot do on the floor. Great channel and worth sharing. Keep up the good work.

      I think it has to do with your core muscle strenght, the stronger you become the better your body manipulation will be.

    Hey Andrew, as you are the expert on handstands maybe I thought I could ask you this. I've been having problems with the advanced pike push up. I think my form is good (maybe my shoulder blades stick out a bit) but I'm getting bad pain on my shoulders. Stopped training for 2 weeks and moved to muscle up work but it is still persisting. Went to the physio but they said nothing was wrong and it could be related to my posture (a bit slouched like all calisthenics athletes) but didn't offer any exercises to help me. Any ideas? Thanks :)

    • @CaliToTheCrowd
      @CaliToTheCrowd  2 года назад +1

      Haha! 'expert on handstands'! Diego, flattery gets you... EVERYWHERE!!!
      In your advanced pike push ups if you find that that is happening, and a physio is giving you the all-clear, then the issue MAY be with posture.
      If you're slouched the best thing you can do is work on the 'unslouching' muscles (so rhomboids, rear delts and traps). You can do this with inverted rows.
      And if you're shoulders are rounded, working on external rotation will be crutial - so try ring face pulls.
      Hope the pain goes away man, but no matter how hard it gets, please don't train through it! 👊🏾

    Are there any detriments to having a bend in the knee while raising the legs? A straighter leg makes the exercise harder for me, and I feel like I’m cheating myself out of an effective rep when the knees start to bend as it makes the exercise slightly easier. Thank you!

      Good question Cody!
      I'd actually argue that when starting out, the bend in the knee is a good thing, and it allows us to focus on the fact that the main aspect of this exercise is spinal flexion.
      We need to get the bum cheeks as high as possible, and bending the knees is the easiset way to do this.
      As we get stronger, we can straighten the legs 👊🏿

    P.S. Are isometrics just as effective as conventional exercises using range of movement and involving weights? Thanks.

      Isometrics are great for building strength in a specific range of motion, or understanding how an exercise works, but conventional (i.e. moving through a concentric and eccentric) typically works better for building mass.
      Both have their uses so up to us which we want to achieve 👊🏿
