This week on the <<>> BLOG <<>> I am sharing some coaching tips and training variations of knee to elbow! The knee to elbow is an incredible way to build a ton of lat, trunk, and shoulder girdle strength… and beyond!
 
Coaching tips:
  • Keep your shoulder girdle and lats active by pulling shoulders down and away from your ears
  • Press through your palms to activate your lats
  • Hold a strong hollow body position
  • Compress your ribs towards your hips
  • Squeeze your glutes
  • Tuck your tailbone
  • Tuck your legs
  • Point your feet
  • Aim to get your knees all the way to your elbows each rep
  • Modify by aiming for the highest point possible (arm, armpit, chest, belly button, etc.)
  • Keep your arms straight the entire time
  • You should be using your lats rather than your biceps on this
