How to perform Tuck Box Dragon Press
- Position two stable boxes so your upper-lat/armpit area can rest on them while there is clear space for your body to move between them.
- Place your palms flat on the boxes beside your body and keep your elbows straight.
- Draw your knees toward your chest and maintain the tucked shape.
- Press through the fixed supports to raise your hips and tucked body toward vertical without bending your elbows.
- Lower back through the same path under control, keeping the support points in place.
- Repeat the press without swinging your legs or turning it into a static floor dragon-press hold.
