Assisted Lying Leg Raise with Lateral Throw Down
The partner leg throw-down pushed to one side at a time; the obliques catch the legs as they fall off to the side.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, hands gripping a standing partner's ankles behind the head, legs straight up.
Steps
- Raise the legs to the partner's hands.
- Catch them as they are pushed down and to one side.
- Bring them back up; the next push goes the other way.
Common mistakes
Hips rolling off the floor with the legs: keep the shoulder blades and pelvis down. Pushes too wide or too hard: short, controlled angles. Knees bending to save a rep: straight legs, or end the set.
Breathing
Exhale as the legs rise, inhale as they lower.
