The participants stand on top of each other in a push-up position (preferably with partners of similar build), with the upper participant resting their feet on the back and their hands on the calves of the lower participant (heads pointing in opposite directions). Both participants bend and stretch their arms at the same time (upper body raised and lowered; push-up). Logically, the load on the lower participant is higher than that of their partner at the top (possibly change position).
Attention:
Actively tense the trunk (do not sag), elbow position is not at shoulder height but slightly closer to the upper body ("A" shape with the arms), shoulders are fixed and pushed down towards the hips.
Lighten:
Only hold the starting position; bend your arms less (barely lower your upper body).
Harden:
Additional weight for one or both participants (on the shoulders).
Variant:
The upper (lower) participant does not perform push-ups (only hold the position) so that the load is only increased for one exerciser.
