Felix Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) I do not have access to a pair of stall bars or a partner to spot me when I do leg lifts on a pullup bar. I know this makes the exercise easier because with no back support, you are liable to engage other muscles to make the exercise easier. Would doing leg lifts in a hollow body position on the floor be a good substitute for the difficulty the stall bar variation creates, or at least a better alternative to doing them on a pullup bar with no back support?

Edoardo Roberto Cagnola Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 There's not a substitute for HLL done with stallbars, but, if you really can't find a way to do them the right way, I would say that hanging from a normal bar (you'll have to be very controlled to avoid any swingin motion) it's batter than doing them on the floor. IMHO done on the floor, even from a hollow body position, they are waaaaay to easy to gain any real benefit from the exercise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ita Sha Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 If don't have stall bars, doing it on a bar with a partner pushing you slightly from the back to avoid lats work is the best substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) In the absence of a partner, with care, switch your grip to a chin up grip or with a normal grip, move your hands together to further minimalize lat activation. Just tried this and felt a definite increase in difficulty. Thank you. Edited August 30, 2015 by Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yeah, supinating the grip works. Or, do them in eagle grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
