✊BACK, ABS, AND CORE STRENGTH

By doing the front lever, your entire torso functions collectively, rather than twisting and collapsing under pressure. You also build exceptional strength in the back muscles, such as the lats, rhomboids, and spinal erectors. The abs benefit from this too! In fact, it’s one of the most effective ab workouts! If you’re planning to get on with an ab training to be all hot for summer, this is the right exercise.
✊IMPROVED BODY CONTROL

Holding a static position requires more body control compared to other popular exercises. In doing so, you need to pay close attention to your body position in space. Body and mind coordination is key to perfecting the skill! Only through practice with this front lever Calisthenics exercise will you become the strongest you can be!
✊SUPPLEMENTARY TRICEP EXERCISE

The front Lever is always a good tricep exercise that works the long head isometrically without putting a significant amount of stress on the elbows. Remember, if your triceps are failing, it’s probably because your long head lacks sufficient straight-arm strength.
✊EXCELLENT SCAPULA STRENGTH

The front lever requires you to actively engage your scapula AKA the shoulder blades into a depressed and retracted position. This will strengthen your scapular muscles such as the rhomboid, levatator scapulae, trapezius, and serratus anterior. Doing so will translate to overall general strength and healthier shoulders and back that are free from aches and pain.
✊IMPROVED MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

As it is static, the front lever requires a planned progression that starts from a manageable position; then moves to a more difficult one, improving your muscle endurance. You see, it’s all about the leverage here! Calisthenics has a way of mainly decreasing the hold over time.
