- Grab a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
- Hang with arms fully extended and engage your shoulders.
- Lift your legs straight out in front of you until they are parallel to the floor, forming an 'L' shape.
- Keep your legs straight and together, engaging your core and hip flexors.
- Hold this position for the desired time while maintaining the leg position.
- This combines the grip strength challenge of a dead hang with intense core strengthening.
