HELLO! I really enjoy doing front lever pulls. I just read coaches essay about it and i noticed he did not put anywhere in there that you can do in in any position except teh front lever. I am not capable of a front lever but i can hold and adv tuck front lever for 15s. Can I do the front lever pulls in the adv. tuck position? It was asked on the essay but nobody ever answered. Thanks!

Yes. There isn't a police force that will come an arrest you for it. Unlike planking...there should be a police force for that... But that is how I eventually got to being able to pull to a front lever. You can also pull up in an easier position, switch to a harder one, and lower down.
This is in the book. You should buy it

He has the book and still has a question.
These type of answers may have good intentions, but really are not helpful.
I haven't read all of Coach Sommer's messages on the board, but I don't believe I will ever find a message that states you have to buy his book or rings before he's willing to answer a question.
He didn't need to start the site just to sell his book.
Edit: I'm not trying to be a jerk. If this comes across in a bad way, I apologize.

No. If he has the book, he certainly didn't read it. In the section on Row Variations in the Upper Body Pulling chapter, it includes "Front Lever Rows - tuck", "Front Lever Rows - flat tuck", "Front Lever Rows - straddle", "Front Lever Rows - half", and "Front Lever Rows"
Yeah your right, i guess i just spaced it. Its my first time reading the essay. ive read the book through 5 or six times since it was given to me by a very considerate person, i will usally finish it, then start back at the begining the second i read the last word. I think the only frustrating thing i find about the book is the fact that i can see all these cool exersices and i know i have to be patient.
So in essence, i have read the book, it was a silly question and i apologize, but i have read the book and very much enjoy it. thank you too all who offered advice 
To be honest I've read the book twice (and skimmed it many more times) and I still forget stuff that's in there, even the movements with pictures.
