It doesn't seem too difficult. It appears to be targeting the arms and back more than the abdominals? I'll have to try and see for myself. I’m going to try this tonight.

To see the lower abs you need to lose fat from the whole body. You may be about 10lbs away from the ideal body fat percentage. But - i'd suggest losing only 5lbs and focusing on adding more full body strength with squats, deadlifts, renegade rows, full contact twists, military presses. You can read about these exercises from the links in the sidebar.

I would love to look like some of them. This pull up reminds me of the stuff they would be do ing every day. So i'm sure it is very effective. i'm sure I could do a couple but anymore would start to be a challenge. I find Olympic gymnast really buffed and muscular. I would love to look like some of them.

So I’m pretty sure you did something like this. As far as functionality goes, this move is one of the main exercises they do here in the army, so I guess it’s alright.. <strong>Darrin</strong>, Hope you find a bar man. It’s a lot of fun! You are right on the money – hanging knee raises will improve abdominal strength which is key here. Add some pull-ups and you’ve got the basic strength for the high bar get up. Y. Craig,
