Suspended Fallout

How to perform

1. 01Adjust the straps so the handles are at an appropriate height, below waist level.
2. 02Begin standing and grasping the handles. Lean into the straps, moving to an incline push-up position. This will be your starting position.
3. 03Keeping your arms straight, lean further into the suspension straps, bringing your body closer to the ground, allowing your shoulders to extend, raising your arms up and over your head.
4. 04Maintain a neutral spine and keep the rest of your body straight, your shoulders being the only joints allowed to move.
5. 05Pause during the peak contraction, and then return to the starting position.

Form cues

• —Lead with the elbows and finish by squeezing the target muscle.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
