Method
- 1. Holding your torso up at arm’s length, lie on the floor face down with your hands about 36 inches apart.
- 2. Next, breathe in as you lower yourself until your chest almost reaches the floor.
- 3. After exhaling, squeeze your chest and raise your upper body back to the beginning position.
- 4. Start lowering yourself downward once more for as many repetitions as necessary after a brief break in the highest contracted posture.
Variations:
If this is your first time doing this exercise and you lack the strength to complete it, you can either bend your knees to remove the resistance or execute the exercise against a wall rather than the ground.
For the most experienced lifters, you can raise the resistance and better target the upper chest by placing your feet on a high surface, such a bench.
