This fun exercise is great for training your core, sides of your body, and total body control!

It's also a neat trick to show at parties.

Special shout out to Paul Wade for teaching this exercise to me and many others.

While it's not necessarily easy (depending on how fit you are), it IS easier than it might look with the right progressions and technique!

It does require decent strength before starting though.

I recommend being able to do at least:
-25 Pushups
-9 Pullups
-15 Hanging Leg Raises

If you can't do these, will you be able to begin training for the clutch flag?

I don't know. Maybe. BUT I think you'll make faster and better progress working on building those exercises up first than you would with training the clutch flag.

Don't worry. These exercises will still be here for you to learn when you're ready! Gravity isn't going anywhere.

The progressions I show in this video are:

1.) The Grip
2.) Single-Leg Diagonal Flag
3.) Bent-Knee Diagonal Flag
4.) Diagonal Flag
5.) Tuck Clutch Flag
6.) Single-Leg Clutch Flag
7.) Bent-Knee Clutch Flag
8.) Clutch Flag

Work each stage until you can hold it for 9 SOLID seconds on BOTH sides of your body. On steps 6-8, you be able to get away with building up to 6 seconds or something. In my opinion, just buckle down and build up the extra 3 seconds. It'll improve your later progressions as well.

Train 2-3 non-consecutive days in a row. During training, do 5-6 sets with a few minutes break in between the sets.

Let me know how it goes!
