How to perform

Grip parallel bars, palms facing inward. Extend arms to lift off the ground, legs straight, feet together. Engage your core, maintaining a straight line. Lower chest towards bars, elbows to 90 degrees. Pause, then press through palms to return to the starting position.

Tips

Keep elbows close to your body. Maintain a neutral spine by engaging your core. Control the descent. Use a full range of motion. Beginners may use resistance bands or negative repetitions.
