Reverse Plank
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff demonstrates the **Reverse Plank**—a powerful posterior chain + core anti-sag drill. Start seated, hands behind, feet flat. Drive hips up into straight line—shoulders to heels. Avoid lumbar hyperextension. Progress: alternate heel lifts while holding rigid.
🔥 Benefits of Reverse Plank:
- ✅ Strengthens glutes, hamstrings, and posterior core
- ✅ Improves shoulder stability and scapular retraction
- ✅ Enhances full-body tension and spinal alignment
- ✅ Scalable: static hold → dynamic heel lifts
- ✅ Low-back safe when cued properly
