Dynamic Chest Stretch

Execution

1. Keep your arms straight for the whole drill, without bending the elbows.
2. Quickly swing both arms back as far as you can, opening the chest.
3. Bring the arms back to the front immediately so the hands touch again.
4. Repeat 5-10 times, gradually picking up speed after the first few reps.
5. Keep the range within a comfortable zone, without forcing the shoulders back when they feel tight.

Quick cues

• Arms stay straight the whole time.
• Open the chest fully on the back-swing.
• Build speed gradually, don't rush.
• Hands touch together up front.

Common faults

• Fault: Bending the elbows on the back-swing

  Fix: Keep the arms straight with a soft lock at the elbow throughout.

• Fault: Starting too fast before the shoulders are warmed up

  Fix: Do the first 2-3 reps slowly before gradually speeding up.

• Fault: Forcing the shoulders back too far, causing discomfort

  Fix: Reduce the range to a comfortable zone and increase it gradually over time.
