Muscles

Technique

  1. Start in a Support position, slowly bend your elbows and slightly lean forward to let your body dip down.
  2. Keep the tension at the bottom and push yourself back to the top position.

Form tips

  1. At the top, straighten your arms and push your shoulders down ( Shoulder depression ).
  2. Go as deep as your current strength and flexibility allow.
  3. Your elbows should point more backward than outward (max. 45° out).

Risks

  1. Do not go too low if this causes pain. Build up the strength to go lower over time, and thus increase the range of motion and the benefits.
