Setup

 

• Place your hands on the ground (about shoulder width) with arms locked out, legs straight and balancing on your toes.

• Keep your midsection tight 

• Ensure your body forms a straight line from heels to head (just like with a plank)

​

Execution

 

• ​Lower the body at a uniform pace by bending the elbows

• At the bottom, ensure that your chest makes contact with the floor

• Push away from the ground extending your arms and raise your body at a uniform pace 

• Lock out arms at the top before lowering into your next repetition

​

Tips

 

• Keep elbows close to the body

• Be sure to not raise your butt or shoulders faster than the rest of your body - maintain a straight line
