Extension and flexion of the arm while standing (chest press) (left) ► chest press

Individual work

Stand upright, shoulder-width apart, with the left arm bent so that the hand is at the chest (same side of the body - back of the hand points away from the body) and the elbow is close to the body. An elasticated band is placed around the shoulder and held in place with the hand of the training arm (left). From this position, extend the arm forwards to chest height, rotating the arm so that the back of the hand is pointing upwards in the end position. Then bend the arm to bring it back to the starting position.

Attention:
The movement only takes place in the arm and shoulder (upper body remains stable and upright, no leaning forwards or backwards).

Lighten:
Choose an elastic band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose an elastic band with greater resistance.
