Technique tips
- Lock the elbows
- Push the shoulders down away from the ears
- Lift the hips and tuck the knees
- Hold without touching the floor
How to track your progress
Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
