How to perform Straddle Front Lever

1. Grasp a stable pull-up bar or pair of rings around shoulder width and establish a controlled straight-arm hang.
2. Use a tuck to raise your hips and torso toward the front-lever position, then extend your knees and open your legs into a straddle.
3. Hold your trunk and legs approximately horizontal with your face upward, hips extended and elbows straight.
4. Keep the shoulders active and the trunk braced without shrugging, folding at the hips or arching your lower back.
5. Maintain the straddle hold while breathing; do not turn it into repeated bent-arm rows.
6. Lower under control to a hang before dismounting.
