I tried a wide front lever on a bar today... and it completely changed the difficulty. It was way harder! I can easily straddle it for 20+ seconds, but this widening made me stick to adv. tuck. Plus my shoulder was getting cramped. I can see it would be harder on rings because you can't really push the rings out for it, but it definitely works on a bar.

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, it's a great exercise.

something i noticed was that it is way harder to keep shoulders fully retracted and do a front lever. I can hold like a 12+ second front lever (full lay) but can't even hold it for one second with my shoulders fully retracted
