Here's a full guide to help you progress from the straddle front lever to the full front lever!
It's got everything you need - tips on how often to train, body alignment and 6 front lever exercises you can use to boost your progress (they're at the end of the video, so make sure to stick around until then).
If you've made it this far into the front lever journey, congratulations. The front lever is a difficult calisthenics skill to achieve, so you should be proud that you've unlocked the straddle front lever and are ready to progress to the full front lever hold.
Secondly, I'm glad you're here watching this video. There are a lot of bogus front lever tutorials out there - some from people who can't even hold a front lever themselves. Granted, my front lever form could be improved (especially with my arms), but I can at least hold it and have been doing it long enough to pass on some genuinely valuable knowledge to you.
So, I'm here to give you real tips that really work.
They're tried and tested over 10 years of training. Many people who I've personally taught - and hundreds of people who've watched my calisthenics tutorials - have benefitted from them after including them to their front lever workouts. And I am absolutely sure that they will help you when you add them to your front lever training too.
I hope you enjoy the video and happy training!
