The movement

  1. 1Lie on your back with your arms pointing at the ceiling and knees bent above your hips.
  2. 2Slowly lower one arm overhead and the opposite leg toward the floor.
  3. 3Return to the start and repeat on the other side.

Watch out for

Your lower back should stay pressed to the floor the entire time. If it lifts, shorten the reach.

No history for this one yet. Start lighter than you think you need — you should finish every set feeling like you had four or five more reps in you. You can always add weight next session; a strain costs you weeks.
