How to perform

  1. 1

    Move into a prone position on the floor, supporting your weight on your hands and toes.

  2. 2

    Your arms should be fully extended with the hands around shoulder width. Keep your body straight throughout the movement. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Descend by flexing at the elbow, lowering your chest towards the ground.

  4. 4

    At the bottom, reverse the motion by pushing yourself up through elbow extension as quickly as possible. Attempt to push your upper body up until your hands leave the ground.

  5. 5

    Return to the starting position and repeat the exercise.

  6. 6

    For added difficulty, add claps into the movement while you are air borne.

Important tips

  • Squeeze your chest at the top of every rep.

  • Keep your elbows on a steady path — no mid-rep flaring.

  • Lower under control — the eccentric builds the muscle.
