The ape index thing isn't discussed enough. I had one arm pull ups for multiple reps before I got my FL. My ape index is around -1/-1.5 inches on each arm. It made learning iron cross a good bit easier, but I had a hell of a time learning front lever. It does the same thing to planche and maltese. It's still very doable if you have a negative ape index, but all your straight arm skills excluding cross and back lever will be like 30% harder.

I would argue that the largest benefit in depressing your scapula is to increase the angle between your arms and your body. Depression in the shoulder blades and lengthening the traps and neck will make add an effect as if you had longer arms and a slightly heavier upper body. Definitely the number 1 technique advice you need to employ for most normal sized people if you plan on obtaining the front lever.

Ape index is a bit more complicated If your arms are longer you may lean less but you need to generate more force since the bar is farther from the shoulder So it balances out (somewhat) Also why false grip does not make things more difficult

about your second point: With your first point you correctly argue that longer arms are better for the front lever. with your second point you argue that the false grip makes the front lever easier. I dont see that being the case, since the false grip effectively shortens your arms. Wouldnt holding the bar in your fingertips make the front lever easier since that effectively lengthens your arms?

@TheJackedVegan 2 жыл бұрын

I see what you’re saying but when performed the grip is important if you can’t get a good grip and stop your hands form rotating around the bar you won’t hold the front lever. So by using a false grip you get more friction between your hand and the bad and more points of contact despite the slightly smaller angle between arms and torso

@lucadellasciucca967 Жыл бұрын

by using the false grip you shorten the lever makeing the front lever harder. Idealy you wanna have strong enough grip to train front lever without false grip p.s. depressing the scapula also helps lenghtening the arm lever

Wow my arch nemesis appears again. I've started advance calisthenics about a year ago and here I learn that anterior pelvic tilt inhibits my skill training... I've tried so many fixes over the years and they haven't helped. I can do the splits, heavy hip thrusts, all sorts of raises, so I know my abs, hip flexor, glutes are not the issue. Since I've started FL training, I did discover I have relatively weak erector spinae/lower back. Could this be the cause of APT?

@TheJackedVegan 2 жыл бұрын

From my experience its either been tight quads/hip flexors or weak core. Even if you have a six pack you might have to work the core more while stretch and realising tension in the low back. However your specific situation may be different so best to go to a professional
