CHEST

Wall Pectoral Stretch

BeginnerBodyweight

The wall pectoral stretch is a static stretch that opens up the chest muscles. Pressing your forearm to a wall and turning your body away lengthens the pecs and eases upper-body tightness. It helps improve chest flexibility and posture, especially after pressing work.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand side-on to a wall and place your palm and forearm against it, fingers pointing back.

  2. 2

    Step your inside leg forward for a stable base.

  3. 3

    Rotate your torso away from the wall until you feel a comfortable stretch across your chest.

  4. 4

    Keep the stretch gentle rather than forcing the range.

  5. 5

    Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then switch sides and repeat.
