STRENGTHENS
CHEST, SHOULDERS, TRICEPS
STARTING POSITION
Using a full-length Olympic bar, lie on the bench with your feet up
and your hands placed wider than your shoulders. unrack the bar and bring it
directly over your chest with your arms fully extended and unlocked at the
elbow. Actively depress your shoulders down toward your hips (A).
MOVEMENT
Bend your arms and allow the bar to slowly lower toward your chest.
Aim for the middle of your chest directly over your nipple line (B). EASY
Pause with the bar just above your chest.
Activate your chest muscles and press the bar straight back to
the start (A). HARD
Look for the widest marks on the bar and place your hands so that
your pinky finger is just inside this mark.
Why It’s Perfect for
You
This might be the best overall cheststrengthener of all. It is also
a great foundation for many other movements and activities. This will improve
your push-ups and chaturanga in yoga, while also targeting your
triceps.
