Ring Tuck Front Lever Pull
A dynamic movement combining a pull-up with a front lever entry, transitioning into a tuck front lever hold. Requires significant pulling power and control.
Instructions
- Hang from the rings with arms straight and neutral grip.
- Execute a powerful pull-up, bringing your chest near the rings.
- Maintain the pull and transition into a horizontal position by extending your body.
- As you achieve horizontal, bring your knees to your chest into a tuck position.
- Hold the tuck front lever momentarily at the top.
- Reverse the motion, lowering back to the hang position with control.
- This movement combines pulling power with isometric strength.
Tips
- This is an advanced movement—master tuck front lever holds first.
- Explosive pulling power is essential for the transition.
- Control the lowering phase to prevent injury.
- Maintain tension in the lats throughout the movement.
- This serves as a progression toward full front lever pull-ups.
