Assisted 1 Arm Tuck Flag Pulse
- To set up, kneel next to stall bars turned 90-degrees to the side so your left side is facing the bars and your right side is facing away.
- Place your right hand flat about a foot from the bars and under grip a rung at about shoulder height with your left.
- Enter a handstand with these grips and then tuck your knees and bend sideways at your waist, stretching your left oblique.
- The under grip is to remind you that that arm is for assisting balance only and not actively pulling your body up and down.
- Perform swift bounces up and down through this tucked flag position, then hold your lowest leg position for time, and switch sides.
