In the push-up position, hold a dumbbell in one hand (right) with the other hand flat on the floor. In the push-up position, lift the dumbbell/kettlebell by bringing the elbow back towards the body (next to the ribcage). Then lower the weight back to the starting position in the push-up position (alternatively, do not lower the barbell). The movement only takes place in the elbow and shoulder joint, the rest of the body remains stable.

Starting position:
- Push-up position, one hand placed flat on the floor, the other hand resting on the barbell in a neutral grip
- Tension in the torso (no hollow back)

Finishing position:
- Dumbbell/kettlebell resting on/next to the body at approximately chest height
- Elbows of the arm to be trained bent behind the body and shoulder blades actively squeezed together
- Tension in the torso maintained

Variant:
Combine exercise with push-ups (i.e. after each repetition, one push-up is performed).i.e. a push-up is performed after each repetition, which also works the chest and arm extensor muscles)

1 dumbbell/kettlebell

Starting position:
- Slight lunge with bent knee
- Upper body tilted forwards (back straight) and supported with one hand (arm extended)
- Outstretched free arm holds the weight and points towards the floor

Finishing position:
- Dumbbell/kettlebell pulled up to the upper abdomen (arm bent)
- Elbows brought as far back as possible

Attention:
Always make sure your back is straight (tense your core). The angle of your back and thighs should remain the same throughout the exercise. Pull your elbows back and up (stay close to your body).

Progression I:
Set the sling trainer to a short length, take a stepping position facing the sling trainer, hold the handle (neutral grip) with one hand (left) and lean back, support the free (right) hand on the hip, pull the upper body forwards with just one hand and return to the starting position (bend and stretch the arm). Support the movement with your legs (push off with the back leg when lifting the upper body).

Progression II:
Analogue progression I, but choose a stance with parallel feet closer to the attachment point.

Caution:
Keep body tension, do not let hips sag, pull the handle towards you (for all progressions).

Harden:
The more horizontal the starting position, the more challenging the exercise.
