FINISH OVERVIEW

lower down enabling your elbows to extend naturally outwards

Keep your hands facing forward with one wrist slightly forward and the other slightly back from your shoulders. Adopt a suitable press-up position dependant upon your fitness level – full ¾ or box position.

Lower yourself down towards the floor in a smooth controlled manor, ideally 2 inches away from the floor, allowing your elbows to follow a natural route away from your body.

Arching of the spine and forcing your bottom into the air should be avoided.
