How to perform it
Start by hanging from a pair of rings with your arms fully extended and your body in a straight line. Spread your legs wide apart, forming a straddle position. Engage your core and slowly lower your body until your arms are parallel to the ground. Hold this position for a few seconds, then push yourself back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
