Begin by grasping the parallel bars with your palms facing inward and your arms fully extended to lift your body off the floor and lean slightly forward, crossing your ankles behind you for balance.
Lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor, keeping your chest leaning forward to engage your chest muscles.
Push through your palms to extend your elbows and lift your body back to the starting position. Pause in the upper position for a few seconds, allowing for a couple seconds of rest. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
Focus on leaning forward slightly to emphasize the chest muscles rather than the triceps.
Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement to maintain tension on your muscles.
Ensure your shoulders remain down and away from your ears to prevent unnecessary strain.
