How to do it

1. Reach up and grab a bar with an even, overhand grip. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart and elbows extended.
2. Extend your knees by flexing your quadriceps and bring your feet together.
3. Maintain a neutral spine by flexing your midsection muscles. Avoid arching your lower back during any part of the front level raise.
4. Flex your entire upper body and take a breath.
5. With your body rigid, initiate the front lever raise by leaning back as you engage your lats and midsection.
6. Raise your entire body in a horizontal position by engaging your back, shoulders, and midsection musculature.
7. Lift your body until you reach a horizontal position, hold for a moment, and descend to the starting position, exhaling near the bottom.
8. Take another breath and repeat.
