How to do it

Kneel in front of a bench or low bar and place your forearms on it, hands together, body in a straight line from knees to head.
Let your body sink forward by bending only at the elbows until your head passes your hands.
Drive through your forearms and extend the elbows to push your body back to the start.
The further your knees are from the bench, the harder the exercise.
