REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT
Supported knee raise
These steps are written specifically for the Supported knee raise. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.
- 01Set up your version
Set up specifically for the Supported knee raise. Use a stable support for balance or assistance, but keep the working muscles responsible for the rep.
- 02Move the pattern
Exhale and curl the tailbone upward, bringing the pelvis toward the ribs rather than just lifting the knees.
- 03Match the demand
Use this version to make the position repeatable before adding range, load, or speed.
- 04Finish with control
Pause at the curl, then lower the pelvis slowly while keeping the knees close. Lower without losing the tuck.

Supported knee raise
Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 6–15
Supported knee raise is a regression of Garhammer Raise. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.
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.
