How to perform

  1. 1

    Lie on the floor face down and place your hands about 36 inches apart while holding your torso up at arms length.

  2. 2

    Next, lower yourself downward until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale.

  3. 3

    Now breathe out and press your upper body back up to the starting position while squeezing your chest.

  4. 4

    After a brief pause at the top contracted position, you can begin to lower yourself downward again for as many repetitions as needed.

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.
