Back Pec Stretch
How to Do:
- Setup
Stand behind an incline bench with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Grip the Backrest
Reach forward and grip the backrest of the incline bench with both hands, keeping your arms extended in front of you.
- Dip Your Upper Body Downward
Slowly lower your upper body down towards your toes, allowing your chest and shoulders to stretch. Ensure your back stays straight as you lean forward.
- Hold the Stretch
Continue to stretch downwards, feeling the stretch in your chest and shoulders. Hold this position for 20-30 seconds.
- Return to Starting Position
Slowly return to the standing position and repeat the stretch for the desired number of repetitions.
Benefits:
The Back Pec Stretch targets the chest, shoulders, and upper back, improving flexibility and mobility in these areas. It helps release tension, improve posture, and increase range of motion in the upper body. This stretch is particularly effective for counteracting tightness caused by poor posture or prolonged sitting.
