The inverted 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
- Lower to a tuck front lever by bending knees as you lower hips
- Powerfully retract and depress the scaps as you lower
- Return to full inverted hang smoothly and stabilize each rep
Mistakes:
- Starting in a poor inverted hang, failing to return to full 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
