How to perform

Follow these steps to perform the exercise correctly:

1

Starting Position

Place your hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Extend your legs behind you into a high plank. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels — squeeze your glutes and brace your core.

💡 Imagine a broomstick resting along your back — it should touch your head, upper back, and tailbone all at once.
2

Lowering Phase

Inhale as you bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the floor. Keep your elbows at roughly 45° to your torso — not flared out wide. Lower until your chest is about an inch from the ground.

3

Pushing Phase

Exhale as you press through your palms and push the floor away, extending your arms back to the starting position. Maintain a rigid torso throughout — don't let your hips sag or shoot up.

💡 Think "push the floor away" rather than "push yourself up" — it keeps your chest more engaged.
4

Breathing & Reps

Complete all reps with the same controlled tempo. Aim for about 2 seconds down, 1 second up. Rest 60 seconds between sets. If form breaks down, stop the set early rather than grinding through bad reps.

Form tips

🧠

Don't let your hips sag or pike — your spine should stay neutral the entire rep.

👁

Look slightly forward, not straight down — keeps your neck aligned with your spine.

Press the floor away and spread your palms to activate more chest muscle.

🫁

Breathe in on the way down, out on the push — never hold your breath during effort.
