From the video

Answers: How do I progress from a beginner to a full front lever?

• front lever progressions
• scapular stability
• calisthenics training

Exercises

• hanging knee raise · pull-up bar
• tuck front lever · pull-up bar · 3 sets of 15 seconds
• frog front lever · pull-up bar
• piked straddle front lever · pull-up bar
• full front lever · pull-up bar

What it concludes

• Hanging knee raises build the base level of scapular stability needed for the front lever.
• Keeping legs in front of the body engages the anterior core and minimizes swinging.
• The tuck front lever is the easiest progression due to increased leverage.
• Flattening the lower back in the tuck position decreases leverage and increases difficulty.
• The frog front lever lays the foundation for hip abductor strengthening.
• Using earlier progressions like tuck and straddle builds more than enough strength to hold the full front lever.
