Stall Bar Reverse Leg Lift
- Begin standing facing a set of stall bars.
- Be sure you are within one to two feet of the bars, fold forward into a pike, and lean your torso against them.
- With your hands just outside your hips, grab the bar closest to them.
- Grip tight and sink down until you can put all of your weight into your upper body.
- Be sure your knees are completely locked and raise them straight up overhead to enter an inverted hang.
- Keep your torso fixed, hang low through your shoulders, and lower your legs (knees still straight) back down toward the floor.
- Hover your toes just off the ground, pull back up with control, and repeat for reps.
- An alternative to the stall bar variation is to enter a headstand with your back flat against the wall.
- Perform straight leg lifts in the same fashion keeping full torso to wall contact throughout.
