Instructions
Attach the suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above head height. Adjust the handle so that it's at waist level.
Stand facing away from the anchor point and grasp the handle with one hand.
Lean forward into an inclined position, balancing on the balls of your feet, with your working arm in line with the strap, bent at the elbow. Ensure your non-working arm is either by your side or placed on your hip.
Stabilize your core, engage your glutes, and keep your body straight, avoiding any sagging in the hips or lower back.
Press down on the handle, extending your arm fully until it is straight, while exhaling. Your torso should move together with your arm, maintaining a solid plank position throughout the movement.
Pause briefly at full extension, feeling the contraction in your chest and triceps.
Slowly return to the starting position while inhaling, controlling the movement and resisting the urge to fall back too quickly.
Perform the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
Make sure to keep the movements controlled, and adjust the inclination of your body to modify the difficulty - the closer you are to horizontal, the more challenging the exercise becomes. Always prioritize form over resistance level or repetitions to reduce the risk of injury.
