Doorway Pec Stretch
Standing in a doorway with both forearms on the frame, elbows at shoulder height, lean the chest forward through the opening until both sides of the chest stretch.
How to do it
Setup
In a doorway, a forearm flat on each side of the frame, elbows bent at shoulder height, one foot a small step ahead.
Steps
- Shift the weight onto the front foot and let the chest move through the doorway.
- Keep both forearms pinned and the shoulders down.
- Hold and breathe, then step back out.
Common mistakes
Leaning so far that the fronts of the shoulders ache: ease back to a stretch in the chest. Ribs flaring as the chest moves forward: keep them down and lean from the ankles. Shoulders shrugging up toward the ears: draw them down before leaning in.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
