BASE MOVEMENT · HOW TO DO IT

Garhammer Raise

Start lighter and use less range than you think you need. The rep should stay smooth from beginning to end.

  1. 01
    Set up

    Support yourself in a captain's chair with the low back against the pad and knees bent toward the chest.

  2. 02
    Move

    Exhale and curl the tailbone upward, bringing the pelvis toward the ribs rather than just lifting the knees.

  3. 03
    Finish

    Pause at the curl, then lower the pelvis slowly while keeping the knees close.

TRUNK & SPINE / 24

Short rangeShort range

Garhammer Raise

Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 6–15

Train the abdominals by curling the pelvis toward the ribcage.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The knees stay tucked while the pelvis rolls upward, shortening the abdominal wall instead of turning the drill into repeated hip flexion.
