The inverted hang to inverted tuck hang to tuck front lever is used to build scapular retraction strength and is a progression towards the Front Lever.
Cues:
- Raise to an inverted hang to begin
- Tuck knees into body without altering back position
- Powerfully retract and depress the scaps as you lower into tuck front lever
- Return to inverted tuck hang before extending to inverted hang
Mistakes:
- Starting in a poor inverted hang, failing to return to tuck hang before extending to inverted hang
- Moving quickly and without control
- Bending the elbows
Considerations:
- A round back reduces difficulty in the tuck front lever while a flat back increases the difficulty
- Knees fully tucked reduces difficulty while extending the knees increases difficulty
