• 

  Chest · Beginner

  Bent Arm Chest Stretch

  A one-sided, wall-supported stretch for the chest with the elbow bent and the forearm resting against the wall. The position lengthens the chest muscles through body positioning rather than repeated muscular contractions.

They're the easiest way to train at home or on the road, and the base skill that weighted work builds on later. Difficulty comes from leverage, tempo and range rather than load: a slower descent or raised feet turns a familiar move into a harder one. Start with the ones you can do cleanly and progress when the reps come easily.
