Instructions

1. Attach a suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above head height.

2. Face away from the anchor point and grab the handles with an overhand grip.

3. Lean forward into a plank position with your arms fully extended above your head, feet shoulder-width apart, and body straight from head to heels. This is your starting position.

4. Keeping your body in a straight line, bend your elbows to lower your body toward the floor. Keep your elbows close to your head as you perform this motion.

5. Lower down until your biceps are close to your ears, making sure to keep your core engaged and prevent your hips from sagging.

6. Push through your palms, extending your elbows to raise your body back up to the starting position.

7. Control the movement throughout both the lowering and lifting phases.

8. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring to maintain good form throughout.

Caution: This is an advanced exercise, and it requires a good base of strength and stability. Ensure that the suspension trainer is securely mounted to prevent injury. If you're new to this exercise, start with a more basic version or perform it under the supervision of a qualified trainer.
