Ben Greenfield shows how to do a straight body hold between mats: bridge on your shoulders between two equal-height surfaces, hold a weight plate overhead, and keep your body rigid and straight. The key is tucking your pelvis, squeezing your hips, and maintaining tension so your trunk stays like steel.
So for this next amazing core exercise that will develop the straight body position. Remember we talked about tucking that pelvis, cultivating this super. I like, like a piece of steel so strong here. You need two panel mats or two sort of stacked up things of even height. You don't want it super high up the ground because if you fall, you don't want to. I don't want to be responsible for.
Then you're going to lay like a bridge where you're just about here on your shoulders, right? No sagging here. We're going to tighten it up.
Rotate this pelvis, squeeze our hips here.
Hands over our head. Then we're going to take a big old plate. We're going to put it right here. We're going to hold this.
I actually think it's harder to have your hands down because it's more weight in the middle.
Then.
You'Re going to flip over like a hot dog on one of those rollers at 7:11.
And you're going to do the same thing here. Squeezing.
Take this thing and.
You want to squeeze as hard as you can. I mean, as hard you should be trembling. Should be exhausting. I want to try to aim to do one minute on each side.
