Extension and flexion of the arms while seated (chest press) ► chest press

Individual work

In the seated position, grasp the handles at chest height with your arms bent (upper grip), move your arms forwards against the resistance (try to squeeze your hands together a little) and return to the starting position.

Starting position:
- Sitting, arms bent
- Build up tension

Finishing position:
- Arms almost stretched out, keep a slight bend in the elbow
- Try to squeeze hands together (tense chest)

Attention:
Movement is in the shoulders and arms, not in the upper body. Elbows bent approx. 45° from the upper body ("A" shape with the arms). Shoulders are fixed and pressed down towards the hips.
