Stall bars for handstand work

The MoveStrong Stall bars are a great tools for working on your handstands. Use the varied height rungs to position your feet on top as you assist yourself in holding the handstand. Place feet low for starting your handstand then as you increase strength and confidence you can place feet higher on the rungs.

Single Leg Squat with rear foot elevated

A great unilateral variation of the squat. Great for developing leg strength and power without the load on your back as in a traditional squat. Holding weight at your sides makes it easier and safer to maintain an erect torso as you single leg squat to a comfortable depth before returning to the top position. Performing with the Movestrong DSL bar helps stabilize the weight at your sides to maintain balance on a single leg. The open back design of the DSL bar makes it ideal for single leg squatting and lunging to balance a heavier load, if desired, than typically used with dumbbells or a barbell on your shoulders.

Stall Bar Hip Extension

Start with your feet on the floor. Activate your glutes and hamstrings to extend your hips until you are straight up and down. Alternate bending each leg one at a time to challenge your core and stability. It is harder than it looks! This exercise strengthens your hips, arms, hamstrings, and trunk using bodyweight exercises to strengthen muscles with dynamic movements and isometric contractions. 

Exercises to Learn a Bar Muscle-up

Watch Jared perform a sample of exercises to learn how to build strength to perform a bar muscle up. Take time and develop the core and upper body strength needed to safely perform a bar muscle-up. Master each of these for 8-10 reps before moving on to attempt bar muscle-ups. 

Start by practicing hollow body rock exercises. Learn to forcefully contract abs to brace core and create stiff torso. Next, build full range of motion dip strength, to be able to soon perform low horizontal bar dips.

Then begin building pull-up strength by practicing chest to bar pull-ups. Once you have practiced pull-ups, you can now try a straight arm pull with hollow body while bracing the core. Soon progress to power pull-ups to bar below sternum.  Then put it all together!
