Shoulder Tap

Shoulder Tap

Plank Stability

WHAT IS IT

The Shoulder Tap lifts one hand from a plank to touch the opposite shoulder without the hips moving. It builds the anti-rotation core and shoulder control that keep the farmers carry and the sled push straight.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Start in a high plank with the hands under the shoulders and the feet a little wide.
  2. 2Brace the core and squeeze the glutes.
  3. 3Lift one hand and tap the opposite shoulder.
  4. 4Put it down and tap with the other hand, hips level the whole time.
  5. 5Slow down if the hips start to rock.
