Supported couch stretch
Sets: 2–3 · Reps: 5–8 lift-offs per side
Supported couch stretch is a regression of Couch Stretch Lift-Off. 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 rear hip starts near its available extension limit, then the athlete creates force without escaping through the low back.
