1.2 Sang – pressing to starting position
Partner assisted
 Sang resting on the floor |  Sang pressed into the starting position |
- Press the Sang up on straight arms with a neutral grip.
- Strive for a fully vertical posture with the arms perpendicular to the torso/ground.
- The inside of the Sang, below handles, should be flush against your elbows.
- Bring the head of the Sang together as closely as you can without actually allowing the Sang to touch.
- This is the starting position. The pressing repetitions start here.
Wall assisted
 Sang lowered to the floor resting position from the wall |  Sang pressed into the starting position |
- Place the Sang side by side leaning against the wall.
- Lay directly perpendicular to the Sang with your head in the middle and grab hold of the handles with a pronated grip (palms facing in).
- Gently start leaning the Sang towards you as you continue to pull the Sang towards you and the ground.
- Bend the elbows and continue to lean the Sang forward until your elbows are completely resting on the ground.
- Do not lift the Sang. Simply roll your elbows forward and onto the ground. Let the Sang follow with you forward until they are as horizontal and perpendicular to the ground as possible.
- Focus on the balance and stability.
- Strive to find the centre balance of the Sang as it is resting in your hands and your elbows are resting on the ground.
