Comments and tips
If you have trouble completing the exercise with proper form, try modifying by dropping to your knees. Focus on engaging your chest, triceps, and core throughout the movement.
Cautions
Avoid arching your back or letting your hips drop. Keep a straight line from your head to your heels.
