Otis-Up

Other Abdominals

The Otis-Up is a strength movement that targets your abdominals. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Otis-Up

  1. Lie on your back with one arm extended straight overhead holding a light weight, legs straight.
  2. Press the weight toward the ceiling and use that tension to sit all the way up, keeping the arm vertical.
  3. Lower yourself back down with control, maintaining the arm position throughout.
  4. Initiate from the core — do not jerk the weight or let the arm drift forward.
