Captain's Chair Knee Raise
Forearms on the pads of the captain's chair: raise the knees to the chest; the back stays against the pad.
How to do it
Setup
Forearms on the pads, back against the rest, legs hanging.
Steps
- Raise the knees to the chest, hips curling at the top.
- Lower slowly to hanging legs.
- Keep the shoulders down on the pads.
Common mistakes
Swinging the legs: dead stop at the bottom. Shrugging into the pads: press them down. Skipping the hip curl: knees-only is half the rep.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
