Complete all designated sets with strict tempo and proper joint alignment. Tap the swap button on any exercise to substitute with an alternative equipment variation.
Curl the torso upward with a focused contraction, keeping the lower back anchored during the initial drive.
Rotate the pelvis smoothly side to side in a controlled arc, feeling the obliques decelerate the movement.
Maintain a straight kinetic chain from ears down to heels, contracting the glutes for spinal support.
Brace as if expecting a punch to the stomach to keep the torso completely motionless during shoulder taps.
CSCS Coaching Guidelines & Execution Protocol
- Avoid pulling on the back of the neck; initiate every rep strictly from the abdominal wall.
- Exhale fully on the contraction phase to maximize recruitment of the transverse abdominis.
- Take minimal rest between movements to build muscular density and endurance.
Optimal Recovery Meal for This Routine
