How to do it

Setup

Feet in the straps behind you, hands under the shoulders, plank line set.

Steps

  1. Lower the chest to the floor, elbows about 45 degrees from the body.
  2. Keep the hips in line – the straps punish a sag.
  3. Press back up to straight arms.

Common mistakes

Hips sagging as the feet swing: squeeze the glutes and brace. Elbows flared to 90 degrees: tuck them toward 45. Straps hung too long, so the feet drag the floor; shorten them first.

Breathing

Inhale on the way down, exhale through the press.
