Technique

How to perform

Grip parallel bars, slightly wider than shoulder-width. Extend legs, body straight. Lower chest below bars, bending elbows. Pause briefly. Push back to start, extending arms. Repeat with control.

Tips

Engage your core. Keep elbows at a 45-degree angle. Control the descent. Use a full range of motion. Inhale on the descent, exhale on the push. Start with a smaller range of motion if new.
