First Front Lever !

Postby JohnD on Mon Apr 26, 2010 8:59 pm

Hello
I'm new to the forum and have had my rings since 2003. I've done muscleups, back-levers etc , but for various reasons, never got the front lever.
Yesterday after training diligently at it for a month, I finally did my first front lever.
I was only able to hold it for a few moments, and my form needs some cleaning up, but in the past I wasn't able to hold it at all.
It is a real breakthru, especially since I will be 60 in July.

Hi John,
That is awesome! What kind of training did you do leading up to it?
Keep up the good work,

Hi Tyler
Thank you.
I focused heavily on skin-the-cats, ice-cream makers and raising and lowering into the lever from a tuck position.
