Strength
Hollow Hold
by Jace
A full-body brace held in one shape; it is the position gymnasts build everything else on.
How to do it
- Lie on your back and press the low back flat into the floor.
- Lift the shoulders and legs just off the floor, arms reaching past your ears, neck relaxed.
- Raise the legs higher if the back lifts — the flat back matters more than the low legs.
- Keep breathing through the hold — do not hold your breath.
