Inverted hang (Straight Inversion hang)
Skill Tree
Technique
- Hang from rings or a bar with your arms straight and shoulders engaged.
- Tuck your knees to your chest and roll back until your hips are above your head (see Tuck inverted hang ).
- Extend your legs straight up so your whole body is vertical and upside down, and hold.
- Come down the same way: tuck, then lower your hips until you hang again.
Form tips
- Keep your arms straight and close to your body.
- Squeeze your legs together and keep your body in a straight line, with no pike at the hips.
Risks
- Being upside down can make you dizzy; avoid it if you have high blood pressure or eye conditions like glaucoma.
