Toes to bar

How to do it

1. Hang from a pull-up bar with a pronated grip slightly wider than your shoulders.
2. Engage your lats and abs to control your body's swing.
3. Raise your straight or slightly bent legs toward the bar by flexing your hips.
4. Bring your feet to touch the bar between your hands, contracting your abs.
5. Lower your legs under control, resisting the swing, back to the hang.

Common mistakes

• Using swing momentum instead of ab strength
• Bending the knees too much and shortening the range
• Losing lat tension and swinging out of control

Other variations

• Lying leg raise
• Hanging leg raise
