Bottle Weighted Svend Press
The Svend press with a large filled water bottle squeezed between the palms and pressed forward; the bottle gives the squeeze something to hold.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, a filled bottle held upright between the flat palms at the chest, elbows out.
Steps
- Squeeze the bottle and press it straight out.
- Hold it at arm's length for a beat, still squeezing.
- Bring it back to the chest.
Common mistakes
Gripping the bottle by its handle: hold it with the flat palms. Bottle slipping down as the arms straighten: squeeze harder at the far point. Leaning back to hold it out: stand tall and press at chest height.
Breathing
Exhale pressing out, inhale returning.
