How to do it

Drive firmly through the base of each palm on the way up.

    Begin in a kneeling position with one hand slightly ahead of the other at chest level.

  2. 2

    Lower your body towards the floor, keeping your elbows close to your sides.

  3. 3

    Push back up to the starting position, maintaining the staggered hand placement.

  4. 4

    After completing the set, switch the hand positions and repeat.

Expert tip

Ensure one hand is slightly forward and the other is back to target different angles of the chest and triceps effectively.
