Exercise Description

The weighted hanging leg raise to knee tuck builds serious core strength and grip power. It targets your abs harder than bodyweight versions while improving functional strength.

How To

1. Hang from a pull-up bar with a dumbbell or weight plate secured between your feet or ankles 2. Start with arms fully extended and legs straight, maintaining a tight grip on the bar 3. Pull your knees up toward your chest in a controlled motion, keeping the weighted hanging leg raise to knee tuck smooth 4. Squeeze your abs at the top when your knees reach chest level, holding for one second 5. Lower your legs slowly back to starting position, maintaining control throughout the weighted hanging leg raise to knee tuck movement

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pulled down and back throughout the weighted hanging leg raise to knee tuck to protect your joints • Control the weight on the way down - don't let gravity take over • Squeeze your abs tight at the top of each rep for maximum muscle activation • Don't swing or use momentum during the weighted hanging leg raise to knee tuck - keep it controlled

Common Mistakes

• Swinging your body to build momentum instead of using pure ab strength during the weighted hanging leg raise to knee tuck • Dropping your legs too fast on the way down, missing out on the strength-building negative portion • Using too much weight too soon in your weighted hanging leg raise to knee tuck progression, leading to poor form
