Instructions for Proper Form
Setup:
- Chair position: Place two sturdy chairs with backs facing each other, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Hand placement: Sit on the edge of one chair and position your hands on the edge of the opposite chair, fingers facing forward.
- Foot position: Extend your legs in front of you, your heels resting on the floor.
The Lift:
- Initiate: Engage your core and slowly lower your body by bending your elbows. Aim to go down until your upper arms are roughly parallel to the floor.
- Focus on triceps: Concentrate on using your triceps to power the movement.
- Powerful press: Forcefully push yourself back up to the starting position, extending your elbows fully.
- Reset: Breathe, reset your posture, and prepare for the next repetition.
Tips:
- Upright posture: Maintain an upright torso, avoiding excessive leaning forward.
- Elbow position: Keep your elbows close by your sides, avoiding flaring out.
- Variations: For more difficulty, elevate your feet onto a bench or another chair.
