How to do the 90-To-90 Internal Rotation Press

Setup

  • Sit on the floor with your legs bent at a 90-degree angle; one leg positioned in front of your body with the shin parallel to your front, and the other leg positioned to the side with the shin parallel to your side.

  • Lean slightly back and use your arms for support, placing your hands on the floor behind or to the side of your hips.
