How to do it
- Place your hands on a bench, box or bar a little wider than your shoulders.
- Walk your feet back until your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- Lower your chest to the edge of the support with your elbows about 45° from your body.
- Push back to straight arms with your hips in line; a lower support makes it harder.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
