How to do it

  1. Hang from a bar with an overhand grip, body still.
  2. Keeping your legs straight, raise them until they are parallel to the floor - or higher if you can.
  3. Curl your pelvis up at the top rather than just lifting with your hip flexors.
  4. Lower slowly under control.
  5. If you cannot control the descent, do knee raises until you can.
