Farid Mirkhani Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 For a correct L-hang on stall bars, should the glutes also stay in contact with the stall bar or just the lower back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Egebak Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 The lower back should. When attempting to ppt most people will feel their butt slide off the wall as the lower comes into contact with the wall. That is quite natural. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farid Mirkhani Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have a picture here from "Developing the hanging leg lift": I can't tell for sure if only his lower back touches it or the glutes as well.. But if it as you say it, Alexander, then it makes things easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 His glutes are off the bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Davies Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 His glutes are off the bars.Makes sense. If you're maintaining the correct pelvic tilt it would be very hard to have the glutes touch the stall bars in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katharina Huemer Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I would also say your whole back should touch the bar, but not your glutes, at least it is like that for me!If you start doing "real" leg lifts, like all the way up, this position will be different for everybody. If you have good compression and flexibility, your whole back will still touch the bars and only your toes will touch the upper bar.If you have Bad compression and flexibility, your lower back will get off and your shins will touch the bar.But no guarantee, just my personal opinion! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been worrying about it because I'm using them more as front lever prep than for active flexibility.At some point I'm going to have to go back and fix all of the bad habits I'm building now, but in the mean time, front lever o'clock!
