How to do it

Setup

Hands on the floor behind the hips, fingers forward, knees bent, hips lifted.

Steps

  1. Bend the elbows straight back, hips dipping toward the floor.
  2. Press back to straight arms.
  3. Keep the hips high through the set.

Common mistakes

Hips resting down: they hover, never sit. Elbows flaring: straight back. Tiny bends: real 90° reps.

Breathing

Inhale bending, exhale pressing.
