Stop when the upper arms are about parallel to the floor. Press back up to straight arms. Common mistakes Sinking until the shoulders drop below the elbows — stop with the upper arms about parallel to the floor.The shoulders shrugging up to the ears — push them down before each rep.Swinging the legs to get up — start each rep from a still position.Skip this with a shoulder, elbow or wrist injury unless a professional has cleared it.
