The Straddle Human Flag is an advanced isometric hold where the body is held parallel to the ground while gripping a vertical pole or bar. Grasp the pole with one hand in a high position (pulling) and the other in a lower position (pushing). Kick or lift your legs into a horizontal position, keeping them spread wide in a straddle to reduce the leverage and make the hold slightly easier than the full version. Focus on keeping your bottom arm locked out and pushing hard, while the top arm pulls. Engage your obliques and core intensely to maintain a straight line from your head to your hips.
