Instructions
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and your knees slightly bent for stability.
Place your palms together in front of your chest with your elbows out to the sides. You will be mimicking the motion of the Svend press, but without using a weight.
Press your palms together as hard as you can, to the point where you feel your chest muscles fully tensed.
While maintaining this pressure, slowly extend your arms out in front of you until they are straight.
Hold the extended position for a moment, continuing to press your palms together.
Slowly bring your arms back to the starting position in front of your chest while still applying pressure with your palms.
Ensure that you maintain tension in your chest throughout the entire exercise.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Make sure to breathe normally, inhale on the retraction, and exhale on the press. Keep the movement controlled to maximize muscle engagement.
