Toes to bar is a challenging exercise that involves hanging from a pull-up bar (or any suitable overhead structure) and lifting your toes to make contact with the bar between your hands.
It’s a powerful test of control, strength, and coordination that targets various muscle groups simultaneously.
Benefits of Toes to Bar:
1. Grip Strength: Enhance your grip strength as you hang and control your body throughout the movement.
2. Core Strength: Engage your core muscles to bring your toes up, building a solid foundation for overall stability.
3. Mid/Upper Back Strength: Strengthen the muscles in your mid and upper back as you control the swinging motion during toes to bar.
