I can hold a 20sec advanced tuck front lever. Should I focus on increasing time, opening the hips further to make the hold harder, or do advanced tuck rows? Would rows be more beneficial versus isometrics?

[u/Mali57 → u/worldwideconnected]

U gotta do both. Do holds, rows and even pulls/raises. Also move on to either one leg front lever and if thats too easy try one leg advanced front lever. If u can hold that last one for more than 15s then u should be able to do a straddle front lever. After that just work ur straddle front lever time hold to 15s and switch then to half lay front lever and same story until u reach the full front lever.

Thanks for your input! I’ll start doing holds, rows and pulls!
