Tutorial

  1. 1
    Lie on your back on the floor and bend your legs.
  2. 2
    Your upper arms should be about 45° apart from your upper body.
  3. 3
    Push yourself up by pressing your elbows against the floor. Keep going up until you have reached the maximum contraction in the trapeze. Only your upper body is lifted. Your legs and bottom remain on the floor. Breathe out as you do this.
  4. 4
    Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
When you are in the top position, you should pull your shoulders back to "crack nuts". The movement is purely from the shoulder joint. The rest of your body remains in one line. Make sure that you do not have a hollow back or hunched back during the exercise.
