Wide-Leg Straddle Pike Hops & Controlled Press Hold

Take a wide stance, plant hands under shoulders, bend knees slightly, and hop reaching toes out wide while drawing thigh bones in; hold straddle balance and lower down slowly.

Key points

  • Reach toes dynamically outward while suctioning thigh bones into sockets
  • Push firmly down through the heels of the hands to lift pelvis over wrists
  • Lower down as slowly and controlled as possible to build press strength

Common mistakes

Letting the legs drop quickly without controlling the eccentric descent.
