Dragon Flag (Bodyweight)

Also known as: Dragon Flag (Bodyweight).

Full body lever from bench

How to perform this exercise

1. Lie on a sturdy bench and grip it behind the head, loading the upper back rather than the neck.
2. Raise hips and legs into a straight line from the shoulders, then lower that line slowly toward the bench.
3. Return without folding at the hips; practice with bent knees if the straight-leg version is too difficult.
