Superman W
The superman hold with the arms bent in a W: the elbows and hands lift off the floor as the shoulder blades squeeze.
How to do it
Setup
Face down, legs long, elbows bent and hands beside the head in a W.
Steps
- Lift the chest, the legs and the bent arms off the floor together.
- Squeeze the shoulder blades toward each other at the top.
- Lower everything slowly.
Common mistakes
Elbows sinking below the hands: keep the W lifted as one shape. Neck cranking up: eyes on the floor. Legs staying down: this is the superman version; lift them too.
Breathing
Exhale on the lift, inhale lowering.
