Parameters
3 Sets
12-15 Reps
60s Rest
01 Steps
- 1 Stand facing a wall with your arms extended, hands placed shoulder-width apart on the wall at chest height.
- 2 Step your feet back about one step to create a slight angle between your body and the wall.
- 3 Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, core engaged.
- 4 Bend your elbows to bring your chest toward the wall, controlling the descent (2 seconds).
- 5 Push firmly into the wall to return to the starting position with arms fully extended.
02 Tips
- The further your feet are from the wall, the harder the exercise. Adjust the distance to your level.
- Keep your elbows at a 45° angle from your body, not flared out to the sides.
- Exhale as you push, inhale as you lower.
03 Common mistakes
- Arching the lower back: keep your abs tight and pelvis neutral.
- Letting elbows flare to 90°: keep them at 45° to protect your shoulders.
- Moving too fast: control each phase of the movement.
04 If you struggle
- Move your feet closer to the wall to reduce the load.
- Do half reps, only lowering halfway.
