How to do it

  1. Grip the parallel bars and press up to straight arms, pulling your shoulders down away from your ears.
  2. Keep your torso as upright as you can and your elbows close to your body.
  3. Lower yourself until your elbows are bent to about 90°, then press back up to straight arms.
  4. Don't sink so low that your shoulders roll forward.

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