Perfect Hanging Knee Raise Technique
Hanging knee raises are one of the most effective exercises for building functional core strength, targeting the entire abdominal complex while developing grip strength and shoulder stability. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures maximum abdominal engagement with perfect form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Hanging Position: Hang from pull-up bar with arms fully extended, shoulders engaged and active
- Core Engagement: Engage deep abdominal muscles to prevent swinging and maintain control
- Knee Lift: Slowly raise knees toward chest, focusing on hip flexion rather than swinging momentum
- Controlled Descent: Lower knees back to starting position with complete control and muscle tension
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using momentum and swinging to lift knees
- Allowing shoulders to relax and hang passively
- Partial range of motion (not lifting knees high enough)
- Dropping legs too quickly on the descent
- Holding breath during the movement
