How to do it
In a L-sit position on parallel bars, low parallettes, push-up grips, or the floor, bring your legs in and drive your hips back to get into an advanced tucked planche position with your elbows locked for one second before returning to the starting position.
If you're on the floor or push-up grips, you may need to cross your legs during the transition to avoid touching the ground.
