Pull Over And Jackknife Tips

  1. Engage your Lats by imagining pulling your shoulder blades down and back towards your spine as you initiate the movement. This will activate your upper back muscles and create a strong foundation for the exercise.
  2. Focus on your Abs by keeping them tight and engaged throughout the entire movement. Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong core connection that will help stabilize your body and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  3. Maintain proper form by keeping your body in a straight line from head to toe. Avoid arching your back or allowing your hips to sag. Imagine a straight line connecting your head, shoulders, hips, and heels, and strive to maintain that alignment throughout the exercise.
