Bodyweight Standing Pec Deck

1. Starting Position:

• Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Make sure your toes are pointing forward.

• Engage your core to maintain stability.

2. Arm Position:

   • Raise both arms to shoulder height with elbows slightly bent.

   • Position your palms facing forward and fingers pointing up.

3. Movement:

   • Inhale deeply and as you exhale, bring your arms together in front of your chest like you are hugging a large tree.

   • Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the movement and ensure your shoulders stay down, away from your ears.

   • Squeeze your chest muscles tightly as your arms come together.

4. Return to Start:

   • Slowly return your arms to the starting position while inhaling.

   • Maintain control of the movement and avoid letting your arms drop too quickly.

5. Repetitions:

   • Repeat this movement for 10-15 repetitions, or as many times as comfortable.

   • Focus on maintaining proper form and breathing consistently.

6. Tips:

   • Keep your back straight and avoid leaning forward or backward during the movement.

   • If you feel any discomfort in your shoulders, reduce the range of motion or take a break.

7. Cool Down:

   • After completing your repetitions, stretch your arms and chest gently to relax the muscles.

This exercise targets the chest muscles effectively using your body weight. Enjoy your workout!
