Heel Hang - Parkour Training and Conditioning Exercise

The heel hang is a brutal isometric contraction of the hamstrings in which you fight to hold yourself up from the downward pull of gravity. Similar to a glute ham raise, this exercise develops the posterior chain in ways that very few exercises can. By increasing the strength in the posterior chain, you will improve your leg power for jumping and sprinting.

Warning - Do not perform this exercise on a bar that is more than a few inches taller than a height at which you can reach the ground with your hands in the exercise position.

[Kirrindead]

I got a heel hang on my first attempt. Without shoes, and on an aerial hoop. It doesn't hurt my legs at all, but good lord my heels.

When I was younger I used to do this EASILY. Can still do it. Never knew that was parkour.
