Instructions

Proper position

  • Sit on the edge of a support with your hands by your hips. Your palms should be on the support, fingers pointing forward.
  • Move your feet forward until your hips are slightly in front of the bench. Your legs can be bent or straight. Your shoulders should be level with your wrists. Rotate your shoulders outward to engage your back muscles.
  • Keep your chin in a lowered position throughout the movement.
  • Keep your shoulders and hips tense, while keeping your abs contracted. 

Movement

  • Maintaining the same position, slowly bend your elbows and lower your hips towards the floor until your upper arms and forearms form a 90-degree angle.
  • Pause at the bottom of the movement.
  • Contract your triceps to come back up.
  • Finish the movement by exerting a strong contraction of your triceps while maintaining a slight flexion of your elbows.
  • Repeat until you've achieved the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing

  • Inhale on the way down.
  • Exhale on the way up.
