Extension and flexion of the arms in supine position ► chest press

Individual work

Lie on your back on the floor (legs may be raised), the upper arms of the bent arms lie flat on the floor and point to the respective side, the forearms point upwards in the direction of view (approx. 90 degrees in the elbow joint), grasp the dumbbells with a pronated grip so that the palms face forwards, push both arms upwards at the same time and lower/bend them back to the starting position.

Attention:
Do not fully extend your arms in the pronated grip position; keep your back in contact with the floor while performing the exercise.

Lighten:
Less weight.

Harden:
More weight.

Variation:
Alternately push out a weight upwards to bring the almost extended arm into the front hold position.

2 dumbbells
