How to do it

Lie under a sturdy table or a low, fixed bar and grip the edge with both hands about shoulder-width apart. Keep the body in one straight line from heels to head, then pull the chest to the edge by driving the elbows back and squeezing the shoulder blades together. Lower under control to a full stretch. Bend the knees and plant the feet to make it easier, or elevate the feet to make it harder. Check the table takes your weight before the first rep.

Form cues

  • Squeeze the shoulder blades before the elbows bend
  • Hold a straight line from heel to head throughout
