    How to: StrongMan Crucifix Hold

    1. Stand upright and hold a weight in each hand, extending your arms out to the sides.
    2. Keep your arms parallel to the ground and maintain a slight bend in the elbows.
    3. Engage your core and hold the position for a specific duration.

    Common Mistakes

    • Not keeping the body straight and aligned.
    • Holding the weights too far from the body.
    • Using excessive weight leading to loss of form.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise with no weights to focus on form.

    Tips
