Description

A challenging full body exercise that strengthens the core, glutes, shoulders, and triceps. It involves propping the body up on the elbows and keeping the body straight from head to heels.

How to Do Reverse Plank on Elbows

1
Setup
Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you, feet together or hip-width apart, and your back straight.
2
Setup
Place your forearms on the floor behind you, about shoulder-width apart, with your elbows directly under your shoulders and fingers pointing towards your heels.
3
Press firmly through your forearms and heels, lifting your hips off the floor until your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels.
4
Engage your glutes, hamstrings, and core to maintain this rigid, elevated position, ensuring your hips do not sag or pike.
5
Keep your head in a neutral position, either looking straight up or slightly towards your feet, to avoid straining your neck.

Tips

Actively squeeze your glutes and brace your core throughout the entire hold to prevent your hips from sagging and maximize full body tension.
Push the ground away with your forearms to engage your shoulder stabilizers and upper back, preventing your shoulders from rounding.
Maintain a neutral neck by keeping your gaze directed towards the ceiling or your feet, avoiding excessive neck extension or flexion.
Flex your feet and drive through your heels to further engage your hamstrings and calves, contributing to a stable base.

Common Mistakes

×Sagging hips reduces core and glute engagement; fix by actively squeezing your glutes and lifting your hips until your body forms a straight line.
×Hyperextending the neck strains the cervical spine; fix by keeping your gaze directed upwards or towards your feet to maintain a neutral neck position.
×Rounding the shoulders disengages the upper back and puts stress on the shoulder joint; fix by pressing firmly into your forearms and broadening your chest.
