How to Progress From Tuck to Advanced Tuck Front Lever | 5 KEY EXERCISES (Calisthenics)

Here are 5 awesome exercises that will help you progress from the tuck front lever to the advanced tuck front lever!

If you can hold a tucked front lever but are struggling to get your knees beyond the bar, then this video will show you 5 front lever progressions you can use to build the strength for the advanced tuck front lever.

These are all exercises that I have personally used to build my front lever strength, so I know from experience that they really do work.

This video contains a range of dynamic and static front lever exercises because I think it's super important to train both these types of exercises when learning advanced calisthenics skills.

The mistake I made when I was a beginner was that I thought I should only ever train static skills when training for the front lever. I mean, it makes sense to assume that, doesn't it? Since the front lever is a static skill, it's probably best to only focus on static progressions, right?

Wrong.

When training for the front lever, you should also incorporate dynamic movements into your training because they help to build strength by putting your muscles under varying degrees of tension throughout the exercise.

After I added dynamic front lever progressions into my front lever workouts, I noticed much quicker progress. When you combine both static and dynamic front lever exercises, builds your strength from all angles.

However, to get the most out of dynamic front lever progressions, THEY MUST BE DONE WITH CONTROL. They are virtually useless if they are performed with too much momentum, because the momentum takes a lot of the strength-building tension away from your muscles. Therefore, always make sure to perform your dynamic front lever progressions with control to get the most benefit out of them.

Now, another word of advice: don't rush your front lever progression.

The full front lever takes a long time to achieve. You should only progress to the next major front lever progression when you feel like you are ready. By "major front lever progression", I mean the classic, well-known front lever progressions:

- Tuck front lever
- Advanced tuck front lever
- Super/extended advanced tuck front lever
- Half lay front lever
- Straddle front lever
- Full front lever

Do not try to rush through these progressions, because doing so increases the chance of injury (I know this from personal experience). Instead, get VERY comfortable with a progression before moving on to the next one. This will ultimately help you progress quicker because it will help you to avoid injuries.
