The High Plank Ab Squeeze is an excellent exercise if you like serious tension in your abdominals, and if you have reached a point where you desire a little extra added to your ab routine. The exercise also forces you to stabilize yourself with your shoulders and triceps.

How To Do It
1. Assume the high plank position. The high plank position is the starting pushup position, Your elbows and hands should be directly below your shoulders to provide a stable base. Your body should be rigid, as if a steel bar is running from your ankles to your shoulders.
2. Keeping your body rigid and stationary, massively contract your abdominals and hold.
3. Continue contracting your abdominals until you feel them begin to involuntarily relax.
4. Intentionally relax your abdominals completely. That’s one rep.
5. Rest for only a moment before continuing on to the next effort.
