Some arm flexion may be needed to break parallel.
The front lever is used to train radial deviation of the wrist, and is one of the most difficult levering exercises. Stand with the feet parallel to one another. Place a sledge hammer to one side, with the hammer head on the ground parallel to the feet, and handle pointing straight up. Holding the arm straight, against the side of the body, grasp the end of the hammer handle. Moving only the wrist (be sure to keep the arm straight), bring the head of the hammer up in front of the body until the handle is parallel to the ground. Slowly lower it. Front levering a 32" long, 6lb sledge is a worthy starting goal.
