Stand upright with your feet in the loops, hold the gymnastics bar at shoulder height in front of your body (the backs of your hands pointing towards your chest), slowly raise your arms over your head into a high hold and back to the starting position.

Attention:
Do not arch your back, tense your core.

Lighten:
Choose fewer strong elastic bands; roll up the elastic bands less.

Harden:
Choose stronger elastic bands; roll up the elastic bands more.

Variant I:
Combine the end position with a squat or lunge. Make sure that your knees do not extend beyond the tips of your toes.
Variant II:
Perform the exercise in a prone/back position.
