L-Hang

Technique

How to perform L-Hang

1. Grasp a pull‑up bar or pair of rings with a shoulder‑width overhand grip and hang with your arms fully extended, shoulders depressed, and legs together beneath you.
2. Engage your core and glutes to create a hollow body, keeping your lower back from arching.
3. This is your starting position.
4. Exhale as you raise both straight legs in front of you until they form a 90‑degree angle with your torso, creating an “L” shape.
5. Keep your knees locked and toes pointed.
6. Hold this L‑hang position for the recommended duration, breathing steadily while maintaining straight elbows, level hips, and a tight core.
7. Inhale as you lower your legs under control back to the starting dead‑hang without swinging, then repeat for the prescribed number of holds or repetitions.
