Instructions for Proper Form
Setup:
- Chair position: Position a sturdy chair against a wall for extra stability.
- Hand placement: Sit on the edge of the chair and place your hands on the seat next to your hips, fingers facing forward.
- Foot position: Extend your legs in front of you, heels resting on the floor. Lift your hips off the chair.
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. Maintain an upright torso, avoiding excessive leaning forward.
- Powerful press: Forcefully push yourself back up to the starting position, extending your elbows fully.
- Reset: Breathe and prepare for the next repetition.
Tips:
- Adjust difficulty: To make it easier, bend your knees and place your feet closer to your body. For a greater challenge, straighten your legs and elevate your feet on a bench or chair.
- Elbow position: Keep your elbows relatively close to your body throughout the movement.
