How to do it

  1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with a pronated grip. Your feet should be wide with your hips and knees extended. This will be your starting position.
  2. Begin the movement by pulling both of the dumbbells to one side next to your hip, rotating your torso.
  3. Keeping your arms straight and the dumbbells parallel to the ground, rotate your torso to swing the weights to your opposite side.
  4. Continue alternating, rotating from one side to the other until the set is complete.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Spell Caster from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Abdominals volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
