How to perform

Start in a forearm plank, elbows under shoulders, body in a straight line from head to heels. Have a partner center a weight plate on your lower back. Maintain a tight core and straight line while holding. Remove the weight and lower to knees.

Tips

Begin with a lighter weight. Keep hips level, engage glutes and quads. Breathe steadily. Stop if you feel lower back discomfort.
