Starting Position
- lay on the ground sideways
- do not rest the head on the ground
- angle the legs a bit and slightly stagger the feet for more stability
- place the upper hand in front of the chest on the ground
- the elbow is bent to about 90 degrees then
- wrap the other arm around your upper body and bring the lower hand on the hip
Correct Execution
- stretch out the arm according to your fitness level
- your obliques can support the exercise, this takes weight from the triceps
- the upper body is raising then
- do not stretch the arm fully to keep strain from the elbow joint
- invert the motion and come back to the starting position without taking all the tension from the triceps
- do several reps on one side
- afterwards, switch sides and do the same number of reps
tip for the workout
- impede the exercise by lifting the legs off the ground, then the obliques are trained also
