Trainer’s Tips
- Maintain a full range of motion by lowering your chest until it almost touches the floor and then rise until your arms are almost straight.
- Keep your ab and butt muscles tight to prevent your hips from sinking.
- Avoid the common mistake of lowering your head. Keep your neck in its neutral position.
