Start by pressing the bar straight upwards, squeezing through the shoulders until your elbows are almost fully extended. Then slowly lower down until you're back at approximately a 90 degree bend. Move your head slightly back on the way up to ensure you can push up in a straight motion. Keep your forearms, wrists and elbow aligned at all times and brace your core throughout to keep your back straight. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.
Avoid losing alignment between your elbow, forearm and wrists when pressing.
