How to do it

Setup

High plank, body one line.

Steps

  1. Draw one knee out and up to the SAME-side elbow.
  2. Keep the hips level, no piking.
  3. Return and switch sides.

Common mistakes

Knee sneaking under the body: OUTSIDE to the elbow; that is the oblique's path. Hips rising with the knee: the plank holds. Short pulls: knee reaches the elbow.

Breathing

Exhale on the draw, inhale returning.
