Great exercise and much harder than it looks. The position really does a great job in locking out the back and preventing strain.

Gotta tell people to draw the area below the belly button inwards or you’re asking for faulty recruitment of the rectus abdominis and destabilization of the spine/pelvis/etc.

@81HappyCat If you fall off the chair, what would happen? You would hit the ground.

Hi Coach, Decidedly more involved than on the floor. More rigorous indeed. Why not raise the lifted arm straight up above the head though, Seems the natural extension to me? Whaduya think? Yay or nay?
