Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Hanging Leg Tuck.
The hanging leg tuck is a bodyweight core exercise performed while hanging from a pull-up bar. By tucking both knees toward the chest, it effectively targets the lower and upper abdominals while also challenging grip strength and lat engagement.
The Hanging Leg Tuck is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
