You give chest compressions in the standard position, but you sort of bounce up and down on the patient's chest - perhaps 40 compressions or more per minute. You are doing it at the right rate if you are naturally bouncing up and down, like you would if you were giving chest compressions to a rubber ball. This method results in a good balance between doing the patient some good, while minimizing your fatigue. There are no breaths given in hands-only CPR.

How you and a second rescuer can give CPR to an adult victim together?
One rescuer will give 30 compressions and the other rescuer will give 2 breaths. When the rescuer giving compressions gets tires and wants to change, on the last compression instead of saying 30 he/she says change. The 2 breaths are given, the rescuers stay on the same side of the patient, and move positions for the change. CPR then continues with the 30 compressions, then 2 breaths repeated until the next change is called for.
