How to do it

Stack your wrists directly under your shoulders for a stable pressing base.

  1. 1

    Place your feet on a bench and your hands on the ground, forming an inverted V shape with your body.

  2. 2

    Lower your head towards the ground by bending your elbows.

  3. 3

    Push back up to the starting position, extending your arms fully.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your core engaged and hips piked high throughout the movement to maximize shoulder engagement and minimize lower back strain.
