Instructions
Get into a standard push-up plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Have a partner carefully place a weight plate securely across your upper back.
Inhale as you bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the floor in a controlled motion.
Exhale as you press firmly through your palms to return to the starting plank position.
Keep your core tight and your body in a straight line throughout the entire movement.
