How to Perform
- Get into a push-up position with hands rotated outward or backward, positioned near your hips.
- Keeping arms straight, lean your body forward so your shoulders travel in front of your hands.
- The more forward the lean, the harder the exercise.
- Hold for the target duration, maintaining a rigid body and straight arms.
- Breathe steadily and avoid shrugging your shoulders.
Common Mistakes
- Bending the elbows — arms must stay straight throughout.
- Not leaning forward enough to create the intended load.
- Hips sagging or piking rather than maintaining a plank-like body position.
