Equipment

1

With your feet out in front and knees bent, push your body forward just far enough so that your behind clears the edge of the bench or chair.

2

Lower your body by bending your elbows until you feel a slight stretch in your shoulders or chest, then push your body upward by straightening your arms, focusing on using your hands and shoulders.

3

At the top of the movement, push as high as you can and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

4

Lower yourself back down and repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions.

Pro Tip

Maintain Good Posture: Keep your chest up and shoulders down and back throughout the exercise. Avoid slumping or rounding your shoulders as this can lead to poor form and potential injury. Controlled Movement: Lower your body by bending your elbows until they form a 90-degree angle. Then, push your body back up using your arms and shoulders, not your legs. The movement should be slow and controlled. Avoid rushing the exercise as this can lead to poor form and reduce its effectiveness. Full Range of Motion: Make sure to go through the full range of motion during each rep. This means lowering your body as far as comfortably possible, and then pushing up until your arms are fully extended. Partial
