Toes-to-Bar

What it is

Hanging from a bar, you lift straight legs until the toes touch the bar. It demands strong abs, hip flexors and lats to curl the pelvis up. Control the swing so each rep is clean.

Technique tips

• Start from a still dead hang
• Press the bar down with straight arms
• Curl the hips up and touch the bar with your toes
• Lower slowly to stop the swing

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
