FitCi
Step-by-step
- Grip the parallel bars and hold your body up with your arms locked, keeping your shoulders down and set.
- Lean your torso slightly forward to target the chest and bend your legs behind you.
- Bend your elbows under control to lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
- Press back up using your chest and triceps and lock your arms out again.
- Continue with controlled reps without swinging.
Coaching tip
Do not go too deep; stop when your shoulders reach elbow level and press back up.
