How to perform Angled Bridge

1. Sit on a stable bench or plyo box with your feet planted on the floor.
2. Lie back on the support and place your palms beside your ears, with your fingers directed toward your feet.
3. Keep your hands elevated and your feet on the floor as you press through both to lift your torso and hips into a bridge.
4. Extend your elbows as the support permits and open through your shoulders and upper back; your knees may remain bent.
5. Maintain the supported backbend without turning it into a standing dropback.
6. Bend your elbows and knees as needed to lower your torso back onto the bench or box.
7. Return to sitting after your weight is supported.
