HOW TO PERFORM
- Set up in a push-up position with the feet a little wider than usual.
- Lower the chest to the floor and press back up to a full lockout.
- At the top, lift one hand to tap the opposite shoulder and put it back down, then tap with the other hand.
- One push up and both taps is one rep.
