Skin the Cat: How to Do It and When to Progress
- Intermediate
- Pull-up bar
- Rings
How to do it
Hang from the rings or bar with straight arms. Pull your knees to your chest, roll backward through your arms and lower your legs as far as feels comfortable for your shoulders. Roll back the same way with control into the hang.
Target range
Aim for 3 to 6 reps in each set.
Ready for the next step
When you reach 6 reps in every set, you are ready for the next level: German Hang.
Where it fits
Step 1 in the Back Lever progression, which runs from easier to harder. This progression builds on Hanging Leg Raises.
