How to improve your elbow lever

(Edited)

Dear fitness lovers

The elbow lever is a challenging callisthenics exercise that requires significant upper body and core strength.

A strong core is essential for the elbow lever. Focus on exercises such as planks, hollow holds and dragon flags to improve your core strength.

The elbow lever requires significant strength in your shoulders, triceps and chest. Exercises such as push-ups, dips and handstand push-ups can help you build this strength.

Proper form is crucial for the elbow lever. Make sure your elbows are locked out and your shoulders are engaged. Keep your legs straight and your toes pointed.

Hold the elbow lever position for as long as possible. Start with short holds and gradually increase your time under tension.

If you can't perform the whole elbow lever, use progressions to build up to it. Start with L-sits, then move on to tuck elbow levers and full elbow levers.

Like any exercise, consistency is key. Practise the elbow lever regularly and you will see progress over time.

Remember to warm up properly before attempting the elbow lever and listen to your body. Stop and rest If you experience pain or discomfort.

Great form and hold time. Keep it up👍
I don't practice this move much but in breakdancing the stab freeze hold is a fundamental move.

I have great fun transitioning in and out of this move. And you're on the same path as me it seems. I do fitness for fun and for mental relaxation/ destressing. Mostly outdoors.
