Close Tricep Pike Bend & Mountain-Climber Combo Drive

Setup

Begin in a high plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart, directly under your shoulders. Lift your hips toward the ceiling, creating an inverted V-shape with your body.

Movement

• Lower your head toward the floor by bending your elbows. Keep your elbows tucked in close to your body, rather than flaring them out to the sides.

• Maintain the stiff, inverted V-shape of your body throughout the entire movement.

• Once your head lightly touches the floor or reaches the lowest point of your range of motion, press back up until your arms are fully extended.

Focus

Keep your core engaged to prevent your lower back from arching. Avoid letting your hips drop during the descent; keep them elevated throughout.
