The Daily Dare of Commandos says to "Start in a forearm plank position then extend elbows into high plank."
From the description, that sounds like one smooth move, like a tricep extension.
I found If I leaned really far forward over my hands, I could extend and get up that way, but not perfectly smoothly (one arm needs to start slightly before the other, because I need to shift my weight to one side slightly).
Since I was unsure if this was right, and there were no videos in the library for "commandos," I looked on YouTube, and there were dozens of videos there, but every single one showed people simply switching hands one at a time. Much easier than a tricep extension. ...but then I did a search in the forums and saw people talking about commandos as tricep extensions.
So... which is it? And if you *are* supposed to just extend upward into high plank, can I see a video of someone doing that?

Edit: I was finally able to get a fairly smooth "tricep extension" version, if I thought of it as pushing backward against the ground, instead of leaning forward over it like a planche. Still wasn't perfectly smooth, though, and meant I had to raise my hips slightly and use a tiny bit of momentum.
