Good luck with the progressions. Don't forget to build your pull-up strength as the back gains will help with front lever too.

Really, really great format, thanks! 💪

Very well said and explained! Thank you. 👍🙏

Thanks so much for your help on Daniel. I'm actually on my front lever journey right now. Your channel is amazing. I've been following up on your content for years since I started my calisthenics journey years and years ago. Keep up the awesome work you do, always on point and quality information.

The reliability of these tutorials is incredible, tips off for the hard work behind these videos and formats. Congrats, new sub here

Nice summary of front lever hold. Needed this! You’re the best teacher. With thanks!!!

Great video Daniel thank you❤

The pointing of the toes was a great tip

Yeaa even I saw tutorials which said if the scapula is not protracted the front lever looks ugly but whoever I saw doing a front lever, nobody did that so i figured that u just have to try to do that to get a solid hold.... Thankuuuuuu💪🔥

Thanks sir.

i love this new way of explaining technique that you've done for a few vids now. it's insanely thorough-- and it's not as if it weren't obvious that you knew your stuff before! also, this is just really funny to me, i'm American but i find myself saying "lever" as "lee-ver" now in your accent because i hear you say it so often that i unconsciously picked it up 😂

This guy is a machine. Absolute legend dude 💪🏻

I've gone over countless tutorials on this, your detail on the front lever is like no other and has helped me like no other. One exercise I do on the monkey bars is plant my feet on the bars with arms in front lever form and I do lever row ups keeping arms straight and hold it by my waist ,it really strengthens my grip and forearms to keep my arms straighter.Thank you.

At 6'2 200lbs, Front Lever has been EXTREMELY challenging. I'm finally getting past the Adv tuck to Straddle Half Lay, and it's taken a lot of work.

I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Especially the part about the scapulae position in front lever. I would add a small trick - once you grip the rings (or the bar) squeeze tightly with your hands, as if you are trying to crush them in your palms. From personal observation, it gives me a little bit of extra strength which matters when I have just jumped into a higher progression or longer hold.

Daniel you can read our mind ,just in time when i was going to search front lever tutorial

I love how you mentioned sqeezing the knees together. This made a huge difference for me. At 4:55 can you explain a bit more what you mean by "relaxed at the trunk?"

Hey Daniel, as an aussie and living upside down, is your front lever actually a full planche ?

Subtítulos en especial porfavor

Hello, can I have one question please? Which exercise is best for lower lats? The width of the back is good at the top, but I can't get it all the way down (with own weight). Thank you for your creation.

The arched back was me when i did FL raises 😅 …. I also have problems with full straight arms 😩🙈😅 .. at least i can pull into a tuckFL which is hard as he says 😅

Do you have prerequisites you’d recommend before starting front lever training? How do you know if you’re ready to start?

Do you recommend to train the front lever by using resistance bands (around the hips)? At the moment i am hanging around in the straddle front lever and i am not able to hold the full front lever without the small band...

Hey! Please let me know how u think about the width of your hands while doing front lever, is it better to do it shoulder broad?..because i feel like if u dont have a strong retraction its impossible to hold it when ur hands are close and ur shoulders get tensed in that position, kinda weird feeling. Please, let me know as soon as u have time. Thank you!!

I have just did front lever on low bar for 3 seconds after 9 months of hard work , f amazing feeling 😅

Congrats bro. Whats your weight and hight?

What can you do if your elbows hurt at lockout?

What about elbows and shoulders? Should i aim to rotate it so my elbow pits will look straight into my face or just leave it naturally?

Is it good tho to do those too high to low holds?

I find the tuck to extend too much of a sudden jump in postural change and weight. Raising from the bottom will be more beneficial in the long run, definitely recommend that method. Adding dragon flag training did help me get the FL as it trains under the skill and over the skill at the same time. If your goal is FL, training FL rest Dragon Flag rest FL rest rest is a good structure to go by. 4 to 6 sets @ 50-70% maximal effort.

One arm pullup will use a lot of the same musculature and recovery as the front lever. If you try both, you'll have to do less of both, and progress slower. In his other vids he suggested doing one push skill and one pull skill at once

Am I supposed to be using "Posterior pelvic tilt" when working all the progressions? I'm on the step 2 untuck front lever. POSTERIOR pelvic tilt? Thank you for your advice if anyone sees this?😂😂

I'm not sure why but when I try holding a front lever with a straight arms makes my shoulders feels uncomfortable

I have some problem on the trunk. How can i get the solid form without neglecting it for a better hold.

I can only do the front lever with just one leg after struggling for a year. I still can't do a full front lever 😢

Back lever or handstands first is recommended.

I train front lever today and can hold it 11secs on the first of my 3 tries after 4 rest days for upper body whereas my max is around 25secs. I don't understand.. Front lever progression is very variable and frustrating.

Find the time where u are most concentrated and feel good, this time will be your best training time

I'll disagree with the false grip being easier. lengthening the lever should result in more force, because the shorter the lever, the more contracted you have to have your lats in order to get into the horizontal position. a longer arm lever lets you open up the angle of the shoulder which makes muscle recruitment easier (think pullups, getting to upper arms parallel is easier than going all the way up, bringing hands to shoulders). I believe geek climber did a test with this where he fashioned hooks that extended his armlength and could hold higher progressions. having said that, false grip does increase muscular tension throughout the arm, and we all know a rigid body transfers power easier than a non-rigid one. so i'm sure there's some tradeoff.

full retraction not only isnt the perfect form but also is a mistake
