How to do it
- Mount wide parallel bars, supporting yourself on straight arms with a grip clearly wider than your shoulders.
- Lean your torso forward, tuck your chin, and lower yourself until you feel a deep stretch across the chest.
- Press back up without fully locking the elbows, keeping the tension on the pecs.
- Avoid shrugging the shoulders toward the ears throughout the movement.
