Inverted Pull-Up w Pike (suspended)

Using Blast Straps suspended from a power rack, start this exercise by pulling legs overhead, torso slightly bent, and chin tucked. Next, pull body upward using a pull up type motion. After each repetition, lower the legs slowly, and finish in pike position seated upright with legs straight out from hips. This is a very advanced core exercise that uses muscles in the upper back (lats, trapezius and rhomboids) as well as the lower abs and hip flexors which accommodate the finish posture. I would typically have clients perform lower repetitions on an exercise like this (1-6 reps) as form and concentration are the priority.
