How to do it
Begin in a dip support position.
Lower down until your forearms rest on the bars and then press back up, keeping your body leaned back and without using any momentum, swaying, or inertia.
Ideally, do this with your shoulders further back than your elbows, your head further back than your shoulders, and your hips at the height of the bars.
