Hardstyle abs -- probably my favorite Pavel book -- has a progression towards a full toes-to-bar HLR. The progression assumes that one does not have access to stall bars.
I understand that HLR with stall bars is typically harder than without, because the stall bars force your torso to stay upright and not lean back at the top. Fine, but in the book Pavel is shown doing some beautiful HLRs without stall bars and with minimal lean-back.
Here's my question: if one has access to stall bars, should one do HLRs on them, or should the stall bars be used only as a stepping-stone to non-stall bar HLR with no lean-back? My goal is just to work the anterior chain maximally, not to achieve any particular feat.
