Single Bar Inverted Hang
The Single Bar Inverted Hang is a front lever progression. A solid core and posterior pelvic tilt will allow for the body line, while strong lats are required for holding one's pelvis against the bar. The athlete who performs this correctly will need a strong core, as well as the muscles in the upper back and shoulders needed to hold a body lever.
