What it is

This movement uses suspension straps to challenge your core strength. You lean into the straps, extending your arms overhead to work your abdominal muscles intensely. It also engages your chest, lower back, and shoulders as secondary support.

Technique tips

  • Keep your body rigid and straight from head to heels.
  • Maintain a tight core to protect your lower back.
  • Extend your arms fully overhead as you lean forward.
  • Avoid bending your elbows during the movement.
  • Breathe out as you pull back to the starting position.
  • Adjust strap height to modify the exercise difficulty.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
