Seated Elbow Chest Fly on a Chair
Seated on a chair with the hands behind the head, bring the elbows together in front of the face and open them wide again.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a chair, fingertips behind the head, elbows wide.
Steps
- Swing the elbows forward until they touch in front of the face.
- Press them toward each other for a beat.
- Open them wide, lifting the chest.
Common mistakes
Pulling the head forward with the hands: the fingertips only rest there. Elbows dropping toward the chest as they meet: they touch at eye level. Rounding the back: sit tall.
Breathing
Exhale on the squeeze, inhale opening.
