Pro Tip

Proper Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart for a balanced and stable foundation. Your knees should be slightly bent to avoid putting unnecessary strain on your lower back. Correct Arm Position: When performing the chest press, your arms should start at chest level with your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle. Avoid extending your arms completely straight when pressing forward, as this can stress your elbow joint. Controlled Movement: A common mistake is to use quick, jerky movements. Instead, press forward in a controlled manner, squeezing your chest muscles as you press. Then, slowly return to the starting position. This slow and controlled movement will help engage your muscles more effectively and reduce the risk
