Superman — back isolation exercise in the LIFTAG library

Superman

Isolation · Weight × reps

Gently brace, then lift your arms, upper chest, and legs a small distance while keeping your neck in line with your spine. Think of reaching long rather than arching as high as possible. Avoid throwing the head back or forcing the lower back into a pinching range. Lift only the arms or only the legs to reduce the demand; alternating opposite arm and leg can help you practice control before the full simultaneous version.
