Prone Straddle Hold

Developing a powerful straddle will stabilize your lower back and is integral to keeping a body healthy. Not all leg exercises are done standing up, or lifting weights.

Cues:

  • Grasp the bench using both arms. The closer you hold the to edge the heavier your lower half will be.
  • Straddle wide without externally rotating as you lift your legs in line with your body
  • Actively lock the knees and point the toes to maintain tension through the legs

Mistakes:

  • Lazy straddle effort or failing to maintain tension through the legs
  • Excessive lift of the legs resulting in hyper extension of the low back
