| Description: |
- Straps are mid-length
- Single handle mode, body standing facing the anchor
- Start with a wide stance and a high elbow position
- Keep elbow tight to the body for start, bringing your fist to about chest height
- For a bigger challenge, inch feet forward to create a larger angle with your body, eyes looking at the anchor
- Lower body back so that arms are in a T (extend elbows), keeping core engaged (plank position), eyes follow hand to the floor
- Rotate the hips and shoulders back to anchor, then bend the elbow to bring fist to chest as the other hand goes toward the strap
- Maintain an engaged core and scapular retraction with the rotation, drive the movement from core and back without turning it into an arm-dominant exercise
- To make it easier use an off-set foot position
- As a progression, give client a hand to reach for and push down (he/she has to resist)

| Common Error(s): | Not engaging core | Rounded shoulders | Inappropriate momentum |
