Equipment - Chair or Bench
Area: Back of arms
Muscle Group: Triceps

• Sit on the edge of a stable chair
• Place your hands on the edge of the chair, directly beneath your shoulders

• You have a choice of foot position:
Easy position - place your feet flat on floor hip width apart
Harder position - rest on your heels, legs out stretched, knees slightly bent, legs placed hip width apart

• Support your body weight on your hands, lift your buttocks off the front end of the chair - this is your start position
• Keep your shoulders pressed down
• Ensure your head is in a neutral position, spine straight
• Ensure through all movements your shoulders stay over your wrists, your hips stay tipped forward and remain parallel with front edge of the chair (Anterior Tilt)
• Maintain this position and bend your elbows to 90 degrees and lower your hips to floor, keeping your elbows pointing backwards
• Inhale through the movement
• Exhale as you straighten the elbow (ensure the elbow remains slightly bent), returning to the start position
