The straight arm reverse plank builds powerful triceps and mobile shoulders. The posterior chain is used to assist raising the hips and supporting in a powerful extended shoulder position.

Cues:

  • Use an elevated surface that allows you to fully extend the hips

  • Open the chest and retract the shoulder blades to lift the body

  • Squeeze the elbows straight actively

Mistakes:

  • Using an elevated surface that is too tall and failing to reach full hip extension

  • Shoulders sagging or elbows bending
