Tiger Bend Pushups

Here's a simple exercise that is harder than it looks when done properly.

1. Top Position: Arms are straight with shoulders extended far past the hands. Abs and shoulders must contract here for stability. Lots of weight forward. Tops of feet are facing the floor. From here inhale and lower into Position 2 (Down Position).
2. Down Position: The abdomen (not the chest or sternum) is hovering about an inch above the pushup board. From here exhale and drive back into Position 3 (Back Position).
3. Back Position: Elbows are dropped back so that the forearms are parallel with the floor. Heels shift back to the balls of the feet. From here drive forward to Position 4 (Down Position).
4. Down Position: Now back in the Down Position with abdomen an inch from the board and the tops of the feet facing the floor. From here press back up to the starting Top Position keeping the shoulders far forward.
