How to do it
- Jump up onto a single straight bar, supporting yourself on straight arms with the bar at your hips.
- Lean forward and lower your body by bending the elbows, letting them travel back and slightly out.
- Descend until your chest nearly touches the bar, then press back up to the straight-arm support.
- Keep your legs slightly in front of you to stay balanced over the bar.
