The front lever is the next level of lever. It's harder than the back lever because you don't have flexibility resistance helping you out on this one, it's all in your back muscles and core. First would be your biceps. Second is your rear deltoids, lats, shoulder blade muscles, traps, and then your abdominals, and obliques. The other minor muscles working are you quads and hip abductors which hold your legs steady.
So, the front lever. It's quite fun. The prerequisites would be about thirty pull ups in a row, twenty to to bar leg raises in a row, a thirty second ninety degree hold, a front lever with your legs tucked completely in.
Front Lever:
First off you can perform these by just do them a few at a time for quick concise intervals. Your front lever will be performed by pulling your legs straight together and angling your arms and raising your toes until you can see them and keeping them there as long as possible. Your core will be challenged greatly but you will have succeeded in a front lever.
Start through doing the tuck front lever, then progress by advanced tuck, 1 leg, straddle, and then full. Your arms should be at an angle, you cannot do this with your arms being in vertical alignment, they must be at a good 45 degree or more angle. Hold tightly, for this move is difficult, and not to mention take your time and don't over train as it puts strain on your ligaments.
It's not a difficult to explain movement, but is a bit challenging to perform. Good luck!
