Which exercise is described as part of the Long Box Series?

• A. Pull(ing) Straps
• B. Swan on the Box
• C. Teaser
• D. Backstroke

Answer: (A)

The long box series centers on exercises performed on the long box using its straps to create controlled pulling and opening actions that train the upper back, shoulders, and spine while keeping the torso long and stable. Pulling Straps fits this setup exactly: you lie on the long box with the arms threaded through the straps and perform a pulling motion against the resistance, which emphasizes scapular stabilization, lat and posterior-shoulder engagement, and thoracic control. This is the hallmark of the long box strap work. The other options focus on different movement patterns—back extension and spinal articulation, core control, or varied arm mechanics—that aren’t defined as the strap-based pulling sequence of the Long Box Series.
