Lifting the body out of the seat with the arms

Individual work

Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out and your upper body leaning slightly backwards, your outstretched arms in a raised position gripping the rope and preventing you from falling backwards (arms in front of your body, hands approximately at chest/leg height above your head). By moving one arm after the other upwards along the rope and alternately gripping the rope higher and higher, the body is continuously raised until the upright standing position is finally reached.

Attention:
The work is done with the arms (no support from the legs if possible).

Lighten:
The legs provide additional support when standing up.

Harden:
Additional weight (on the arms).

1 climbing rope

2 weight cuffs/1 weight waistcoat ► Make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
