Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Engage your core. Exhale and lift hips to create a straight line from head to heels. Keep hips level, avoid rotation, and maintain an open chest with shoulders away from your ears. Lower hips with control.
Engage your core muscles as if bracing for a punch to stabilize your spine and protect your lower back throughout the exercise. Ensure your hips are stacked directly above your shoulders and knees to maintain proper alignment and prevent lower back strain. Actively press your shoulders into the floor to prevent them from hunching or lifting towards your ears, promoting a more stable and engaged upper body. Focus on creating a rigid, straight line from your head to your heels, which requires consistent core engagement and body awareness. Avoid any rotation in your hips, as this can compromise spinal stability and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Breathe steadily and deeply throughout the hold to maintain control and prevent muscle tension.
