Elbow Pike Bend

Setup

1. Start in a standard high plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart on the floor.

2. Walk your feet toward your hands and lift your hips high, forming an inverted 'V' shape with your body. Keep your legs as straight as possible.

Movement

1. While maintaining this inverted position, slowly bend your elbows to lower your head toward the space between your hands.

2. Ensure your elbows point back rather than flaring out to the sides.

3. Pause briefly when your head is close to the floor.

4. Push through your hands to return to the starting pike position, fully extending your arms.

Form Tips

• Keep your core engaged to maintain the 'V' shape throughout the movement.

• The closer your feet are to your hands, the more difficult the exercise becomes, as it places more weight on your shoulders.
