Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Place your hands against the wall at chest height, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Slowly lower your body towards the wall by bending your elbows, keeping your body straight and your feet firmly planted on the ground.
Once your chest almost touches the wall, pause for a moment.
Push your body back to the starting position by straightening your arms, ensuring to keep your body aligned. Repeat this for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Hand Position: Position your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the wall. Too wide or too narrow hand placement can strain your shoulders and wrists. The correct hand position will help you engage your chest and triceps muscles effectively. Controlled Movement: As you bend your elbows to lower your chest towards the wall, make sure to do so in a controlled manner. Avoid dropping your body quickly as this can increase the risk of injury. Instead, focus on the muscle contraction and relaxation, which will help you get the most out of the exercise. Keep Your Core Engaged: Engaging your core helps maintain your body alignment and protects your lower back. Avoid letting your hips sag or your back arch
