Hold 15 to 30 seconds, 2 to 3 rounds; use reverse tabletop with bent knees to build up.
Skip it with a wrist injury or carpal tunnel syndrome, or a current shoulder problem; reverse tabletop is the kinder version. Keep the chin tucked rather than dropping the head back if your neck is at all unhappy.
