Plank With Dumbbell Pull Through

IntermediateDumbbell

This move layers a cross-body drag onto a high plank, so your core must resist rotation while one arm reaches under and pulls a dumbbell across. It builds anti-rotation strength and also hits the shoulders and back. A strong progression from a standard plank.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Place a dumbbell on the floor and set up in a high plank alongside it, the weight just outside one wrist.

  2. 2

    Keep arms straight under your shoulders and feet about shoulder-width apart, core tight.

  3. 3

    Shift your weight onto the hand nearest the dumbbell while keeping your hips square.

  4. 4

    Reach your free hand under your body, grab the dumbbell, and drag it across to the other side.

  5. 5

    Return that hand to the floor.

  6. 6

    Switch sides and repeat, keeping your hips from twisting.
