Joshua Beeston Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 When performing an arch hold, should I be actively pushing out with my stomach to lift myself up higher as well as holding the arch, or is holding the arch all that is needed?

Joshua Naterman Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 You'll be holding the arch. You are keeping the core firm, but not intentionally pushing in or out: You'll find the tension that makes you comfortable and use that. Focus on arching (extending) in the upper back and neck, not just the lower back. You want extended t-spine as well as extended lumbar spine, and you don't want to feel any intense pressure in the lower back around the vertebrae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
