How To - Copenhagens

Copenhagen's with the monkey foot are beast. So there's a couple of things we need to go over. You need a bench, need a monkey foot. The monkey foot is going to go on the bottom foot. I'm using a five pound weight here. The shoulders want to make sure that you're pressing the floor away with your shoulders and you're reaching the other one up to the ceiling.

You're creating tension through the entire upper body here. It isn't just about. The groin adductors, which is primary focus here. You're also going to be working on the obliques. So you want those hips up starting position. You see by top leg, all the way through the upper body are in line. I'm not relaxed here.

Body's not sagging shoulder blades, pressing away, nice and active from here. You can choose to just lift and hold the bottom leg, or you can do repetitions. I'm just going to work on holding. I don't think I'm on repetition level. And I might even need less weight or no weight. Personally, I'm going to drop the ego and say, I need to start without the monkey foot on this one.

I'm not strong enough. So choose a weight that works for you. Hold it anywhere from five to 30 seconds and make sure to switch sides.
