Check out my guest spot on
Mobility WOD where Kelly discusses how to survive the front leaning rest position and the flutter kick. Kelly has hacked these positions for the military community, and these simple tips can really help when you are in a world of pain. We all know that during a smoke session, if we are able hold this plank position, it will ensure that whoever is "bringing the hurt" upon us, is not going to be focusing their attention on us, and will instead be harassing some other sucker who is sagging or arching.
Let's be clear though-- this is
NOT a position to do your push-ups from. This is for
SURVIVING that position so that you don't burn out and. Cheat the movement in order to make it to the next event/day of basic, indoc, selection, academy, or any other time you may find yourself having to assume the front leaning rest while someone attempts to break you. Then, once it is time to push again, reset into the correct position first, and then continue to do your push-ups (see our previous blog post on the push-up):

Just Say NO to "Girl Push-ups"
If you aren't cheating…you are trying!
