Compound lever Compound lever The compound lever is a simple machine operating on the premise that the resistance from one lever in a system of levers will act as power for the next, and thus the applied force will be amplified from one lever to the next (as long as the mechanical advantage for each lever is greater than one). Almost all scales use some sort of compound lever to work. Other examples include nail clippers and piano keys. A lever arm uses the fulcrum to lift the load using and intensifying an applied force. In practice, conditions may prevent the use
Front lever lever, straddle front lever, and finally on to the full front lever. At any stage of learning the skill the gymnast may perform pull-ups in the front lever position of their choice. A front lever held with just one arm. The body is often turned sideways in this variation The body is kept horizontal while the gymnast performs a pullup. In this variation the performer leans forward from the lever position, bringing the legs down and arms up until he/she reaches the top of a regular pullup. From here they lean back again, straightening the arms and returning to the
