Stick Lying Front Raise
The lying front raise with a light stick: a slow drill for the path of the arms, thighs to straight up.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on a flat bench, stick resting on the thighs, hands shoulder-width apart.
Steps
- Raise the stick with straight arms until they point up.
- Move slowly, keeping the stick level.
- Lower it back to the thighs under control.
Common mistakes
Rushing the reps: the drill is slow on purpose; take each arc to a steady count. Stick tilting to one side: both hands rise together. Elbows bending: long arms through the whole path.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
