It’s actually the BEST hanging leg raise video I found!!! After those millions of views ones, yours is literally the most informed and detailed
Glad you found it valuable, Rachel!
I second this comment!
Make sure to use a Ab-Strap, it will make a Big Difference.
Agree. This is gold!
The ‘squeeze your knees together’ cue just kind of blew my mind. Thank you
Often it's the subtle things that give us the edge to just allow things to click together 👊🏿
Glad it helped!
this is so clear it’s amazing that you only get this many views here. It’s a shame for those who missed out.
Comments like this make up for it!

3 1/2 years of working out, hundreds of videos - I can't believe I somehow missed this guy. His explanation is way more clear, concise and doesn't bore me by getting super-pedantic like so many channels do. I'm subscribing.
Haha! Thanks for the love! hope you look forward to browsing the back catalogue 😅
Also welcome to the Cali Crowd 👊🏿
Man, this has to be one of the most professional videos ever done. You're extremely clear, your pacing is perfect, thank you!!
That means a lot Seb!
And thanks for the love!
Comments like this make it easy to stay motivated making videos 👊🏿
@@CaliToTheCrowdyou're keeping a lot of people motivated as well! 😊
I really appreciate you posting this. I struggled with the proper form of hanging leg raises but yours set me straight and on a path of success. Keep it up young man
The form on this is deceptively difficultly difficult, so glad this helped! 👊🏿

I think this is the most important hanging leg raise video out there. I've revisited this video so many times in the past year- such useful pieces of usable information. Been struggling with L Sits and have been focusing on hanging leg raises to improve my core strength. Thank you so much for the effort, Andrew.
That means a lot!
I make these videos to help save people time on the mistakes I made so this is great 👊🏿

Proof of hidden talent in the UK!
If only I could’ve had you as a coach when I was out there… would’ve been an honor 🙏
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. 🫡👊
Thanks Femi, that means a lot!
Appreciate the love 👊🏿
Thank you, very informative video. In my case I think it might just be that my core is too strong and that’s why I don’t feel anything.
Haha!!
Iron abs! 😅
I was looking for tips on how to avoid activating the hip flexors. Amazing video, straight to the point. thank you
Glad it helped!

You got a lifelong subscriber today . From 2 months I am practising, passive hangs and I am surprised how much our body adapts . I am able to extend my duration from 3 seconds to 50 seconds . That too without fatigue . I was looking for abs exercises to increase my overall strength while hanging . And this video summarises it in such a wonderful way
I've recently got some bad health news and have been inspired by it to get back in as good of shape as possible. What I like about hanging led raises is that they are easy to do a few reps throughout the day and maximize your results
Perfectly written script, huge quality on this channel. Many thanks.
Thank you 😁
wow ok the detail is on point and even listing some progressions before hand is super helpful, subbed
Welcome to the Cali Crowd 👊🏿
Thank you for this video I have been looking for years! The best bar leg raise video by far! Very detailed oriented and easy to get. Keep it up💪🏿
No worries! And happy you found it valuable!
This is a game changer! For ages I was doing it wrongly and this is BY FAR the best tutorial video I’ve ever seen for HLR! Thanks man
That means a lot! Hanging leg raises are a tricky one so glad it helps!
I used to have this issue and your leg raise tutorial was actually what helped me 😊
Glad ypu found it useful =]
Make sure to use a Ab-Strap, it will make a Big Difference.
Finally a video with actually good tips. I put a yoga block between my knees and it’s a game changer on engaging the abs. Thanks a lot.
You're Welcome! 😁
Great video Andrew!! Love the point about stretching the muscle you don't want to work first 👏🏼
Every little helps! 😗

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.
Appreciate the love Nick!
In terms of tutorials on exercises in handing positions, this is the only one i do if I am honest, though I am also in the process of learning to perform a dragon flag and so I have that coming soo if you think you'd be interested 👊🏿
I tried this in my training today and it helped so much! Thank you! I had given up on this exercise!
Great to hear!
This is the best hanging leg raise tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank YOU James 😁
I did these yesterday attempting Jonathan Majors upper body workout. Killer! But I realize now my breathing was totally off and my back archer a little bit. Definitely going to fix these things!
Glas the video helped you out, Tyler!
This is gold!! I watched it when you first published it, but didn't realise just how good this advice is, until I re-watched it now, with a lot more leg raise experience under my belt. Thank you!! 💪🤸♀️
haha you know the video's good when you hit hit up the 'rewatch' 😅
Happy your Leg raises have progressed! 💪🏿
@@CaliToTheCrowd Thanks! Me too 💪😃
bro thanks you so much, You have answered all the questions I had. I think now my abs will work better
No Worries =]
One of, if not the best video on hanging leg raises.
That means loads, Jeff, thank you! 💪🏿
Thanks for the video! Really appreciate it 🙏🏾. It has been difficult for me to understand this one. But by breathing out it has been much more clear to find the goods feelings! Thx one more time!
No worries! Glad you liked it!! 💪🏿
I love how you explain things!!!
I love how you watch things! 😂
Well explained
Thanks Matt!
BRILLIANT VIDEO! Thank you!!! The video I’ve been looking for on the hanging leg raise!🙏🏼 will try this this week and so how I get on! 😊
Thanks! Let me know how it goes! 👊🏿
Hey, I just found out about you because I'm having trouble with my L sits and found your video and just thought that you are way too underrated in this field. Your videos are very informative and filled with very useful content. You deserve more audience and support. Keep going man!
Thanks Joseph! 👊🏾
Most underrated fitness channel on youtube
Cheers for the vote of confidence! 👊🏿
Excellent quality and concise content. Keep up the good work
I have just restarted doing those! After the op, I had to stay away from hanging exercises due to elbow issue but I am just starting to do those again and it feels great! Those tips you gave are amazing, absolutely spot on! Fantastic content as usual Andrew!
Glad the recovery is going well, Michael!
And yeah I is an awesome exercise just a bit misunderstood, I think!
Cheers for the Love, man! Your comments are always an ever-present on this channel!
@@CaliToTheCrowd I feel like the knees to chest is great for compression, hurts like hell :)
The bent knees are a great way to start before transitioning to straight leg or leg to bar, those latter ones are serious and not to be underestimated!
You're a great speaker. Thanks for this
Thanks Kane! 👊🏿
Awesome visualizations, your attention to detail goes a long way in your explaination. Keep it up!
Cheers, Nate 👊🏿
Work THIS. Not this. Or THAT. Love the breakdown and clear explanations. 👍🏽💯👍🏽
haha Thanks!
Thank you. This has been very helpful.
You're very welcome! 👊🏿
great vid as always andrew
Thanks! 👊🏿
Explained very well
Thank you brother
You're welcome!
Actually epic video, thank you for the value you are giving us on this website 😊
No worries - glad you like the videos!
This dude has a sweet house, just wanted to say that. Thanks for the crystal clear and highly actionable tips. Going to go knock out a few sets now. Good luck everybody
Started a new program so been researching my work load. Really enjoyed your video bro. Cool stuff man. One love.
Good luck with your new program! 👊🏿
That was exactly what I was searching for, thank you!!
No worries! 💪🏿
Brilliant video!
Very informative thankyou that helped me find out what I needed to know. 👌
You're welcome, Jason!! Keep grafting 💪🏿👊🏿
Really helpful video, thanks.
Cheers Tim 👊🏿
Yep, I concur, this is the best video on this subject. 👍👍
Haha Cheers Brian!
How not to swing your body when you hang up there? No matter how slow I drop my legs, my body swings.
I think it has to do with your core muscle strenght, the stronger you become the better your body manipulation will be.
It happened to me in the beginning but now I can stop where I want and I feel muscles engaging the moment I stop to prevent going into swing
Put your legs slightly in front of your body and pointed. It’ll stabilise them.
Great video! Really struggeling with this one because of bad shoulder flexibility. Understanding more of it now. Thanks again!
yeah sometimes it can be tricky to get to the root cause of a problem when it comes to calisthenics - but the good news is that fixing one problem can actually improve many things when it comes to bodyweight training!
Keep grafting, Jone - and good luck!
You have the best videos about engaging muscles. Subscribed.
Welcome to Cali to the Crowd 👊🏿
Well and simply explained, very helpful!
Thank. you and glad it helped!
Extremely good video. Thanks!
You're welcome, mate!
I literally was thinking about this problem yesterday and you came out with this video the very next day!!!
🧙♀️🔮
Next video is on the winning lottery numbers... stay tuned 🤣
I was having trouble with this. Thank you!
No worries, Nick, Let me know how it goes 👊🏿
Great content! Hope your channel continues to grow! I'll let you know what results I get in the next few weeks now that I'm cutting for summer. Bless up!
Excellent! Hope the gains keep coming!!!
Do you plan to also make some videos on dynamic part of calisthenics (for example jump over the bar, dragon 360)? It would be great 🐋
I plan on doing it in the future, but the sport/competition aspect of calisthenics is A LOT harder and I'm not getting younger haha! (getting the excuses in early)
Will reassess once I have reviewed my 2022 goals (middle splits, front lever, cleaner muscle up)
@@CaliToTheCrowd Good luck to your journey. I will be following ur Channel
Very well explained, thanks
you're very welcome 👊🏿
Wow! Did I pick the right video on this topic, or what!? Fantastic! One video and I'm a subscriber!
Welcome to the Cali Crowd!! 👊🏿
Thanks Andrew! you solved my problem
Brilliant! happy to help 💪🏿
Great Video! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome! 😁
Great informative video brother.
Thank you 👊🏿
This are very good advises.
Glad you think so Bartosz 👊🏿
Great content bro. You share good video every time 💯💯💯
Thanks Rigoz!
Your videos are week on week pure gold 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate that, Janet
Nice one mate, just the video I needed thank you!
No worries 👊🏿
Good demonstration
the knees together tip is very interesting. when they feel like seperating it just proves that using too much hip flexor. my biggest issue is range of motion cant get the leg raise / l sit above 90 so also impacts knee raises
Interesting. How is your pike flexibility? Can you you touch your feet if you fold forwards?
If not, it, may be worth you doing laying leg raises in the meantime 👌🏿
Your stuff is very useful
Thank you 😁
Thank you!❤ Helpful
You're welcome 👊🏿
Other people said this…but yeah, this is just great!
Thanks! 👊🏿
solid advice. Thanks a lot mister.
You're welcome 👊🏿
Good stuff Andrew, thanks for the video!
Glad you liked it!
how long do I need to be able to hang to do enough reps of hanging leg raise? thanks for the great video
You have a great channel man
Thanks Immanuel
Genius …. I was doing everything you said was wrong 😮
good tips, thanks!
you're welcome! 👊🏿
Great vid!
Cheers
5:40 good shit👌will use that
Good tjp on squeezing knees together
Cheers, Steven!
so clean!
only way I know how 😉
Great video brother 😁🔥🔥
Cheers, Leon!
Really good video
Thanks 👊🏿
A problem i have is that i dont have the grip strength to keep myself up to do enough reps to feel it in my abs- what should i do
Yeah that can be frustrating! It does come though. Just be persistent 👊🏿
Excellent
Is it a good idea to do pull ups and hanging leg raises simultaneously?
Perfect form 👊😎👍
Thanks 😁
Would a supinated grip for this be helpful especially in cueing the pelvic tilt? Also ab slings are great in building volume I feel.
Nice video! 💪🏿
Thanks for the love 👊🏿
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 :)
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! 👊🏾
@@CaliToTheCrowd Thanks Andrew!! Will give that a try, for now I replaced pike push ups with dumbell shoulder presses as they give me more room to work with and don't hurt. One last thing, what did you mean by "please don't train through it"? As in I should first fix it before training? (as it could make it worse?). Thanks again and keep it up, I love your channel
Hi, great video. 4:37 - Do you think this can occasion some back problems if I have bulging disc? I noticed I am doing it wrong...And I start to feel some low back problems even I try to stretch and exercising glutes ... :/ :(
Good question!
if you have a bulging disk, and you know you have a bulging disk. I would highly recommend that you speak to a specialist and get their advice when it comes to any exercise that flexes / extends the spine.
Really hope you're not in too much pain, František !!
Is leg raise a good choice for training abs?
Briliiant,,thanks a lot,,
You're welcome 👊🏿
nicee, makes sense ❤
Thanks 😁
Hurts my shoulders too much, sadly. Even with active hang
If i do it properly would upper abs be also fully engaged?
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 👊🏿
Amazing
Thanks Sameer! 👊🏿
A plethora of spillover upsides? 😅 Great video btw
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 👊🏿
