Technique

  1. Support like a push-up, hands turned out slightly, fingers spread.
  2. Shift the shoulders forward over the hands and beyond, elbows locked, shoulder blades pushed apart.
  3. Hips in line, pelvis tucked, feet on the toes. Hold and breathe.

Common mistakes

  • Bent elbows: the lever disappears.
  • Sinking between the shoulder blades.
