Gladiator Holds

This is an advanced side plank variation to use in your kettlebell training that will challenge the entire lateral subsystem (lats, obliques, QL, and glute medius).

Be sure to drive the lateral part of your bottom foot into the ground to elevate the hip and to “lead with the heel up” on the top leg to ensure you’re using your glutes with the top leg and not the activating the hip flexors (you’re foot will open up when you’re doing this exercise incorrectly).

Watch Coach Brandon and play around with it in your kettlebell training.
