1/2 Hanging Leg Lift: MN/PE5

Has anybody else made the same experience?

Doing MN/PE5 I don´t feel my abs - thought that this is an exercise to develop strength in the core - but my upper arms (triceps?)! It´s not a pain but an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Any idea why?

Thanks

Hi Dieter, maybe you are pulling too much with the arms, increase the arms stance (grip) and take of the thumb from the grip. let us know if you feel the same problem again.

Hello Dieter,

By pulling down on the bar you are activating the long head of the triceps.  

If the issue continues, try grasping the bar with either an undergrip or a dorsal grip.

Hello Coach,

this was a very helpful tip: no "bad or strange feelings" in my upper arms when grasping the bar in an undergrip!

Thanks a lot!
