Step-by-step
- Set two benches facing each other; hands on one, heels on the other
- Have a partner place a plate on your lap
- Bend your elbows to lower your hips toward the floor
- Stop when your upper arms are parallel to the floor
- Press up with your triceps to elbow lockout
Coaching tip
Have a partner place the plate on your lap; keep your hips close to the bench so the shoulders don't impinge.
