Technique

How to perform Adv Tuck Back Lever

  1. Take a shoulder-width overhand grip on a stable bar or rings and move into an inverted tuck with straight elbows.
  2. Keep your knees bent and open the hips to approximately 90 degrees rather than hugging the knees tightly against your chest.
  3. Lower the torso behind the hands until your chest faces the floor and your back is horizontal.
  4. Keep the elbows straight and maintain the same open-tuck shape without resting the upper arms against your sides.
  5. Hold the position with the shoulders actively supported and the trunk steady.
  6. Tuck more closely to return through the inverted position, then lower to a controlled hang.
