3 × 20s
How to do it
- Stand facing a corner and place your forearms on the walls with the elbows bent and positioned near or slightly below shoulder height as comfort allows.
- Brace gently and step the whole body forward until you feel a mild stretch across the chest.
- Feel the stretch across your chest, primarily in the pectoralis major.
- Hold, then step back and relax.
Form cues
- Do not force the chest deeply into the corner or let the shoulders glide forward.
- Lower the arms if the front or top of either shoulder pinches.
- Stop for numbness or tingling into an arm or hand; pectoralis-minor involvement varies by arm height.
