French Press

Type: Bilateral Rest: 150s Equipment: Körpergewicht

Tutorial

  1. 1
    Find an elevation at about knee height (edge of table, edge of bed, edge of sofa, weight bench).
  2. 2
    Stand about 1 meter away from the edge of the table and place your hands slightly closer than shoulder width to the edge. Point your fingertips away from you.
  3. 3
    Bend your arms until your head is approximately at the edge. Your elbows should always point backwards and not move outwards. Breathe in as you do this.
  4. 4
    After holding the lower position briefly, push yourself back up to the starting position with your arms straight. Exhale as you do so.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
The further away you are from the edge, the harder it gets. And the closer you are to the edge, the easier it gets.
Stretch the triceps in the lower position, but do not overstretch them so as not to overload the triceps attachment tendon.
