How to Do Hanging Knee Raise

Form Cues

1. 1

   Dead hang to start, raise knees to chest using abs not hip flexors

2. 2

   Lower slowly under control

3. 3

   Posteriorly tilt your pelvis (curl your tailbone under) at the top for a fuller ab contraction

4. 4

   Keep your grip relaxed enough that forearm fatigue doesn't cut the set short before your abs do

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Swinging the body — control the movement completely, no momentum

• ●

  Only raising the knees a few inches using hip flexors — aim for a real posterior pelvic tilt, not just hip flexion

• ●

  Dropping the legs quickly on the way down instead of lowering with control
