How to Do the Perfect Hanging Leg Raise (Complete Guide)

Perfect Hanging Leg Raise Technique

The hanging leg raise is a challenging core exercise that builds exceptional abdominal strength and grip endurance. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper form and maximum muscle activation throughout the movement.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

1. Starting Position: Hang from bar with shoulder-width grip, engage shoulders and maintain straight body
2. Core Engagement: Initiate movement by contracting abs and keeping legs straight
3. Leg Raise: Lift legs until they reach parallel with ground or higher, maintaining control
4. Controlled Descent: Lower legs slowly to starting position without swinging

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using momentum or swinging to lift legs
• Allowing shoulders to disengage at bottom
• Bending knees excessively to make movement easier
• Dropping legs too quickly on descent
• Partial range of motion
