How to do it

  1. Grip the parallel bars and push up until your arms are straight and your feet are off the floor.
  2. Lean your torso forward about 30° and bend your knees so your feet stay behind you.
  3. Lower yourself by bending your elbows until your upper arms are about parallel to the floor.
  4. Press back up to straight arms, keeping your shoulders down and away from your ears.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
