How to do it

Setup. Lie under a bar or table edge, grab it with straight arms, heels on the floor and body straight.

  1. Pull your chest up to the bar, leading with your elbows.
  2. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top.
  3. Lower until your arms are straight.

Most common mistake

Using a table that can tip. Test it with your weight first, or use a bar in a rack.

Coach's tip

Bend your knees to make it easier, raise your feet to make it harder.
