Instructions

  1. Stand on the floor and hold the bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip and make sure that your arms should be completely straight and your feet are off the floor.
  2. Brace your core and use your abs to bring your knees up to your shoulders while lowering or twisting your torso to one side and tensing your obliques. Return to starting position. Repeat on the other side.

Tips

  • Don't let your body rock back and forth. Keep your torso as still/stable as possible.
  • Avoid pushing your legs up. Instead, tighten your core to create movement.
  • Avoid overstretching your lower back. Your spine should remain flat throughout the movement.
  • Avoid shrugging. Push your shoulders down/back to engage your lats and reduce stress on your shoulder joint.
