REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Short-lever Copenhagen hold

These steps are written specifically for the Short-lever Copenhagen hold. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Short-lever Copenhagen hold. Lie on your side with the top leg supported on a bench and the elbow directly under the shoulder.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Build tension in the Short-lever Copenhagen hold position and keep breathing while the joint angles stay still. Push the bench away.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Shorten the lever as named and keep the rest of the body position unchanged. Build tension gradually and hold the position without changing the joint angle.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Keep the Short-lever Copenhagen hold position steady for the prescribed time, then ease out of it without suddenly dropping the tension.

Short-lever Copenhagen hold is a regression of Copenhagen Plank. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Control range: Control work builds strength through rotation, balance, or a position you hold steady.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The top leg holds the body against gravity while the trunk and pelvis resist sagging, making lever length a precise progression tool.
