Plank Rotation
From a high plank you rotate into a side plank with one arm to the ceiling, training rotational strength and shoulder stability.

It goes into the workout in progress at the Bench, as a new group in its main set.
Set up
Start in a high plank with hands under shoulders and feet a little wider than hip width. Alternate sides; each rotation counts as one rep.
While you move
- Rotate the whole body as one
- Reach your top hand to the ceiling
- Pivot onto the sides of your feet
- Hips stay high
Avoid
- Letting your hips drop as you turn
- Placing the support hand ahead of the shoulder
Take care if you have trouble with your wrists or your shoulders.
