Equipment
Grasp the handles with a firm grip, your palms facing down and your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Push the handles forward in a smooth motion until your arms are fully extended, but without locking your elbows, which will ensure your chest muscles are fully engaged.
Pause for a moment and then slowly return the handles to the starting position, allowing your chest muscles to fully stretch.
Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Proper Grip: Hold the handles with a full grip (thumbs wrapped around the handles), not a thumbless or "suicide" grip. Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. A common mistake is gripping too wide or too narrow, which can strain your wrists and limit the effectiveness of the exercise. Controlled Movement: Avoid the mistake of using momentum to lift the weight. Instead, press the handles forward in a smooth and controlled manner, and then return to the starting position just as slowly. This helps to engage all the necessary muscle groups and prevents muscle strain. Steady Breathing: Breathe out as you press the weight forward and breathe in as you return
