Movement instructions

1
Anchor your suspension straps securely to the top of a rack or other object.
2
Leaning into the straps, take a handle in each hand and move into a push-up plank position. You should be as close to parallel to the ground as you can manage with your arms fully extended, maintaining good posture.
3
Maintaining a straight, rigid torso, descend slowly by allowing the elbows to flex.
4
Continue until your elbows break 90 degrees, pausing before you extend to return to the starting position.

Technique guidance

Inhale during the controlled lowering phase and exhale as you press away. Avoid holding your breath unintentionally.

Use a stable setup and a load or resistance you can control through a comfortable range.
Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or feel unwell.
Inspect the implement and clear its movement path before starting.
