- Be sure you have a set of leverage assisted ring strength straps (LARS straps) attached.
- Slip your arms through the straps, fix them around the thickest part of your forearm, and grab ahold of the rings.
- Assume a proper straight arm plank position with your shoulders over your hands.
- Turn the rings outward, past parallel, and hold for time.
