How to do it
Setup
- Stand facing away from the suspension anchor point with feet hip-width apart.
- Grasp both handles using an overhand (pronated) grip with straight arms held directly in front of the chest.
- Step back slightly onto the balls of your feet and set a firm, straight-line plank from head to heels.
Movement
- Brace your core and squeeze your glutes to maintain a completely neutral spine.
- Slowly let your body lean forward while allowing your arms to elevate overhead in line with your torso.
- Descend until your arms are extended overhead or just before you lose tension in your midsection.
- Press firmly down into the handles using your lats and core to pull yourself back to the starting chest-height position.
Breathing
Inhale as you roll forward into the stretched position, then exhale forcefully as you drive down against the handles to return.
Cues
- Ribs tucked to pelvis
- Squeeze glutes tight
- Press the floor away through the straps
- Keep the elbows locked
Common faults
- Hyperextending the lower back as the arms travel overhead.
- Only roll out as far as you can maintain a rigid, neutral lumbar spine; reset foot position closer to vertical if needed.
- Piking at the hips to initiate the return movement.
- Keep the hips fully extended and pull back exclusively by engaging the lats and pressing down through the hands.
- Bending the elbows during the extension.
- Maintain straight arms with slight soft-elbow extension throughout the entire range of motion.
Safety
- Ensure the suspension anchor is fully secure before loading bodyweight.
- Begin with a steeper, more upright body angle to gauge abdominal control before moving deeper.
