Knee tuck hold

Support yourself on the parallettes with straight arms and your shoulders slightly protracted. Lift your knees toward your chest, keeping them tucked and your feet off the ground. Hold this position by engaging your core, hip flexors, and lats while maintaining stable shoulders and a steady, upright posture.

This is used as an introduction to the L seat hold and is the first progression.

There’s a short video demonstrating this exercise on this page. For more resources to help your calisthenics journey, check out courses here.
