START
FINISH
1.   Lie on the floor face down and place your hands closer than shoulder width for a close hand
     position. Make sure that you are holding your torso up at arms' length.

2.   Lower yourself until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale.

3.   Using your triceps and some of your pectoral muscles, press your upper body back up to the
     starting position and squeeze your chest. Breathe out as you perform this step.

4.   After a second pause at the contracted position, repeat the movement for the prescribed amount
     of repetitions.


Variations:

1.   If you are new at this exercise and do not have the strength to perform it, you can either bend your
     legs at the knees to take off resistance or perform the exercise against the wall instead of the
     floor.

2.   For the most advanced lifters, you can place your feet at a high surface such as a bench in order
     to increase the resistance.
