How to perform

Place two dumbbells shoulder-width apart. Assume a high plank position, body straight. Engage your core and lower your chest between the dumbbells by bending your elbows. Descend until your chest is below the dumbbells. Pause, then press back to the starting position, controlling the movement.

Tips

Keep elbows at a 45-degree angle to protect shoulders. Maintain a neutral spine. Squeeze chest muscles during the upward press. Use a non-slip surface and lighter weights initially to ensure proper form.
