Pattern
Anti-extension
Setup
- 01Set suspension straps to mid-length and face away from the anchor.
- 02Grip the handles with straight arms at shoulder height.
- 03Walk the feet back until the body is in an inclined plank.
- 04Tuck the pelvis slightly and brace before moving.
Execution
- 01Let the arms travel up and forward overhead as the body falls out.
- 02Keep the trunk rigid as the body lengthens into one line.
- 03Stop at the deepest angle you can hold without the back arching.
- 04Pull the arms back down to shoulder height to return to the plank.
Checkpoints
- -Hips and shoulders move together as one rigid unit.
- -The lower back stays neutral at the longest position.
- -Elbows stay straight; the return is driven by lats and abs.
- -Foot position sets the difficulty and stays fixed during the set.
Common mistakes
- -Letting the hips sag as the arms go overhead.
- -Bending the elbows and turning it into a triceps extension.
- -Walking too far under the anchor and getting no training effect.
- -Rushing the fallout and bouncing out of the bottom.
Programming notes
- -Use 2 to 4 sets of 6 to 12 reps.
- -Progress by stepping the feet further from the anchor to steepen the angle.
- -A good bridge between kneeling wheel rollouts and standing rollouts.
