If you can almost get your hips over the bar, but not quite… try again in a day or two and you’ll nail it.
Help! I can’t get my hips to the bar!
A strong pull up is required, so make sure you are pulling at the same time. If you are pulling and the hips are still lagging, then you need to increase your explosive core strength by practicing “Toes to Bar” hanging leg raises. The progression for hanging leg raises goes like this:
- Tucked -> Straight -> Toes To Bar.
So choose the progression that you are capable of performing at least 3×10 of and get proficient in that before jumping to the Toes to Bar exercise.
