The iliopsoas muscle consists of three types of muscles, the psoas major muscle, the iliacus muscle, and the psoas minor muscle, and is an important muscle in the trunk.

However, please note that the hanging knee raise is a training aimed at stimulating the lower part of the rectus abdominis muscle, so it can only be trained as an auxiliary muscle.
Effective way of hanging knee raise
First, let’s study the hanging knee raise form. The effectiveness of any strength training depends on the form. for that reason. Let’s acquire the correct form and work out efficiently.

What are the tips to improve the muscle training effect of Hanging Knee Raise?
Here are four tips to improve the training effect of Hanging Knee Raise. Please master all the tips and perform an efficient hanging knee raise.
① Do not shake your body
A common feature of Hanging Knee Raises and Hanging Leg Raises is that your body moves back and forth. If your body shakes, it may recoil. Therefore, we will train so as not to shake the body as much as possible. To avoid shaking your body, move your upper body slightly backwards to keep your center of gravity in the center when you raise your knees. You will get used to it little by little, so please try it.
② Slowly when you lower your feet
This is the same trick as knee raises, but when you lower your legs, imagine that your rectus abdominis muscles are slowly stretched. Basically, muscles repeatedly contract and stretch to enlarge. Therefore, no matter how much the rectus abdominis muscle is contracted, it will be difficult to grow unless it is stretched. Let’s train firmly without cutting corners in the stretching movement.
③ Contract your abs and lift your knees
The most important trick in hanging knee raises is to lift your knees with your abs. Many kintore beginners tend to use the quadriceps (thighs) to lift their knees, but that doesn’t help the abdominal muscles. Use your abs to raise your knees for good stimulation.
④ Do not lower your face
If you lower your face, your back may bend and cause back pain. Always keep your line of sight straight when doing a hanging knee raise.
Also, if you get tired and naturally become stooped, it is recommended that you stretch your chest lightly and stretch your back.
