Seated Hanging Leg Raises
Home -> BetterU News Archive -> Issue #17 - Seated Hanging Leg Raises

The following information is a supplement to the article entitled "Secret Training Tip #793 - Seated Hanging Leg Raises" found in BetterU News, Issue #17.

The Seated Hanging Leg Raise is a variation of the hanging leg raises exercise for the abdominals. It results in an extremely hard contraction in the abs due to the position of the body and the point at which you apply tension to the muscles (see the article for more information).

Note how the movement is started sitting on the bench. When you begin the movement, you lift yourself off the bench then raise the legs up as though finish off a hanging leg raise movement.

Be sure to sit yourself down on the bench between reps to completely release tension on the abs. Starting from zero tension with each rep results in a greater contraction at the start of the movement.
