The trainer called the best exercises for pumping the press on the horizontal bar

Fitness trainer Boris Ilyin named the best exercises for pumping the press on the horizontal bar. His words leads “Championship”.

The expert recommended hanging hip curls. Starting position – grab the crossbar, bend your legs at the knees. “As you exhale, slowly raise your hips so that they are parallel to the floor. On an inhale, return to the starting position. In progression, try to pull your knees to your chest, ”he described the technique for performing the exercise.

Ilyin advised me to make a “corner”: while exhaling, raise straight legs to parallel with the floor, then hold a right angle between the body and hips for as long as possible. The coach also suggested doing a “bike”. To do this, you need to alternately smoothly pull your knees to your chest, as if pedaling a bicycle.

The trainer also noted the benefits of side leg raises. Starting position – legs together and slightly bent at the knees. On exhalation, it is necessary to raise the legs to the right to an angle slightly less than 90 degrees, while inhaling, return to the starting position and repeat the same to the left.

In addition, Ilyin recommended making “scissors” and “wipers”. The starting position for both exercises is straight legs raised forward to parallel with the floor. To perform “scissors”, you need to perform swing flexion and extension of the legs in the hip joints up and down or to the sides. The exercise “wipers” consists in the smooth movement of both legs from side to side.

Earlier, coach Reis Mogilner called exercises useless for pumping the press. The specialist said that one of the most ineffective movements is twisting.
