i was doing the progressions for almost a year, then i started incorporating WEIGHTED PULLUPS into my training. I kept the idea of being able to pull 1.5x my bodyweight (180lbs + 90lbs) to be able to be strong enough to do front lever. Everything fell into place after that. 3 months in with weighted pullups, and i could do straddle front lever for 10 seconds. shortly after, i could hold full front lever for 5 seconds.

Aaron Alquiza yeah I've done exactly that same! I've progressed my front lever a lot by simply doing a lot of weighted pullups.
@TheGogo19677 жыл бұрын
Im doing front lever for 10 months and progressions are really slow, i can hold one leg for 30 seconds , im 177 cm and 75 kilos, how do you mean 1.5x bodyweight i have to pull? Does that mean i have to do pull up with 50 kilos? Please help im really confused im doing also front tuck pull ups...
@aaronalquiza96807 жыл бұрын
if youre 75kg, you can add 37.5kg extra weight to be strong enough to make progress easier/faster. once you can do pullups with that amount of weight, youre golden.

Since this requires mostly lower back strength *dead lifts* have done wonders for me. I can only hold the front lever for a second but before I was doing dead lifts I wasnt even getting close. Of course you also need to train your back muscles to hold the horizontal position. Hope this helps someone out there since i wasted a lot of time on progression and other training.

Awesome video guys, love the tip on overtraining, something way too many people ignore before they are forced out of working out for days, weeks and sometimes even months. But when it comes to scapular position, I have a shoulder injury and it seems that retracted and depressed scapular position actually eases the tension on my shoulder by incorporating more muscles into the mix, helping keep my shoulder stable. If I let it protract or even fall into a neutral position I start to feel tension. Then again this positioning might be much more helpful for either begginers whose shoulders are weak, or moreso important for people like me who have had shoulder injuries in the past. Thats my 2 cents, I dont know how accurate that is but it's deduction based on observation of myself. Awesome content, keep it up! -Cheers! -MsMi321

covered pretty much all of the good progressions for getting the front lever EXCEPT dragon flag (very good for getting your core to work together maintaining the tension needed to create the straight line for the front lever) also straight arm pull ups are good for getting the lats and arms used to that pressing down motion with the arms locked out. Try starting these with a little kip and swing to get the momentum. These 2 exercises along with ice cream makers and negative lever holds proved V effective in helping me achieve the front lever.

Can you please make a video about your exercise routines? I feel like I'm not doing enough. I usually do about 5 muscle-ups, 3 sets of 10 pull ups, 3 sets of 15 dips and some abs exercises. At this point, my muscles are pretty much spent. Do you think it's a good idea to maybe take a 15-20min break after my routine and do a couple more sets or should I maybe lower the number of reps in my sets and increase the number of sets? Thanks! Really beautiful form on that front lever btw.

I agree. I've never seen someone hold a 60 seconds front lever before managing to get the full, that's just nuts! Personally I train with the progressions I can hold for 6-12 seconds for about 5 sets. That is, when I can train (and breathe!) comfortably for 5×12s I move on to train 5×6s in a harder progression. It's been working so far and I can hold the full for 6s.
