Challenge your midsection like never before with a new spin on a classic ab builder.
Adding resistance exercise can recruit your core, strengthening the pillars of your body – your waist, hips and shoulders. Adding the line cable to a bridge between the side pillars, "is feels as if someone pushes you forwards and backwards, "says performance coach Anthony Slater. That'll boost your strength throughout your column.
Benefit
You'll build a more stable midsection, so you can stand taller and more powerful in the sport. Before trying this variation, which focuses on your muscles pillar, you should be able to hold a bridge side for 30 seconds (to do not skip your drive back).
How to Do It
1. Attach a handle to the low cable pulley and grasp it with your right hand. Lie on your left a little further than arms length away from the weight stack for you to keep tension on the cable.
2. With your forearms under your shoulders and your feet stacked, push your hips on the ground to create a straight line from ankle to shoulder. Then, pull the handle of your ribcage, keeping your body and high in the same position. Squeeze your shoulder blades while pulling the handle in.
3. Slowly straighten your arms back in front of you. Aim to make the movement for 30 seconds or eight to 10 reps, but stop before your form staggering – for example, if the hips sag or rotate your trunk. Switch sides and repeat the movement.
Tips
To stay aligned, keep your abs kissed as if you are about to take a blow to the stomach. And do not be afraid to add weight, "said Slater. This resistance can help you learn how to engage your column correctly. Once you're comfortable with the movement, increase speed of your line. The faster you move your arm, the more torque you create for your chest muscles to resist – and you'll be able to improve the stability of your rotation, which is the key to good performance in the sport.
