How to perform it

Create a stable line through the head, trunk and pelvis and keep abdominal tension for the prescribed time. Breathe normally without letting the lower back sag. Prioritize control over speed. Maintain useful tension through the range and deliberately reset the starting position before the next repetition.

Tips

Do not turn the final repetitions into fast or partial movements. Aim to load abdominals, shoulders, triceps and hands and wrists without sacrificing position; at beginner level, progress control first and then add load, repetitions or complexity.
