How to do it

  1. Face the anchor, grab both handles, and lean back into a braced plank line.
  2. Explosively rotate your hips and torso to one side, pulling one handle to your armpit.
  3. Reach the free arm long toward the anchor as you twist.
  4. Control back to square, then fire to the other side.

The one cue that matters

Drive the rotation from your hips and core, not just a tugging arm.
