Hanging Knee Raise

Q: What muscles does Hanging Knee Raise work?

Hanging Knee Raise primarily trains Abs. LIFTAG tags each set to those muscle groups so weekly volume and body-part splits stay honest.

Q: Which gym machines can I use for Hanging Knee Raise?

Hanging Knee Raise is mapped to Captain's Chair (Leg Raise Station) in the LIFTAG catalog. At a partner gym the tag on those machines opens this exercise with setup notes ready to log.

Isolation · Weight × reps

Support the forearms on the captain’s-chair pads, grip the handles, and press the shoulders away from the ears. Let the legs hang, brace, and raise the bent knees by flexing the hips; add a gentle pelvic curl toward the ribs if you can control it. The knee raise trains the hip flexors and rectus abdominis, with the abdominals contributing more to the pelvic curl; it does not isolate a separate “lower abs” region.
