01 / Steps
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 achieve a tucked planche position with your elbows locked for one second before returning to the starting position. If you are doing this on the floor or with push-up grips, you may need to cross your legs in the transition to avoid touching the ground.
