Lock your knees, point your feet and squeeze the water out of them. | |
![]() | Chest to Wall Press 2x3 | Draw a big circle on the wall by bringing your legs around through the deepest straddle eventually moving into a pancake position to bring your feet down., When lowering to the Stalder the most important moment is when your feet leave the wall.

Use your hip flexors and compression muscles only to pull your feet away from the wall.Resist with your shoulders to keep them open the entire time. Use your back muscles to pull on your hips. Prevent them from slipping into a posterior pelvic tilt for as long as possible.On the way back up try to reestablish the straight back and even slight anterior pelvic tilt as early as possible. | |
