How to do it
- Face the overhead anchor and grip one handle in each hand with a neutral grip.
- Walk the feet forward until the body is a straight line leaning back, arms long.
- Brace the trunk so the hips do not sag or pike.
- Pull the chest toward the handles by driving the elbows back along the ribs.
- Pause with the shoulder blades squeezed, without shrugging toward the ears.
- Lower until the elbows straighten, then reset the plank before the next pull.
Common mistakes
- Letting the hips sag so the pull becomes a sit-up instead of a row.
- Flaring the elbows wide and shrugging, which dumps the work into the neck.
- Bending the knees to cheat the angle instead of walking the feet to scale load.
- Pulling the handles to the hips instead of bringing the chest to the hands.
