I read a Frederic Delavier’s book « Strength Training Anatomy » and I learned good stuff.
Face to the ground with your arms stretched and spread to your shoulder’s width (or little more). Your feet tight or slightly apart :
-
Inhale and bend your arms to lower your torso to the ground without arching your back.
-
Push up to the extension of your arms and exhale at the end of the movement.
This exercise mainly works the major pectoalis and a little bit triceps. You can do this exercise everywhere.
Variants
You can change the inclination of your torso :
-
Elevate feet work the upper part of the pectoralis major
-
Elevate torso work the lower part of the pectoralis major
You can change the gap of your hands :
-
Hands with a wide gap work the outer part of the pectoralis major
-
Hands with a closed gap work the sternal part of the pectoralis major
