Seated Chest Press on a Chair
Seated on a chair, press both fists forward from the chest and back with no weight; a gentle press to warm up or to train sitting.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on the front half of a chair, feet flat, fists at the sides of the chest.
Steps
- Press both fists straight forward at chest height.
- Tense the chest with the arms straight.
- Draw the fists back to the chest.
Common mistakes
Slumping against the backrest: sit tall. Moving the arms without effort: press as if against resistance. Shoulders creeping up: keep them down.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
