This exercise works the entire chest area, focusing mainly on the inner chest.
1. Lie flat on a bench, feet firmly on floor.
2. Make sure that your butt, back, shoulders, and head are firmly positioned on the bench.
3. Your arms should be lightly bent and slightly wider than shoulders and your palms should be facing each other.
4. Keeping a slight bend in the arms slowly move them in an arc away from the body. Lower them until a comfortable stretch is felt in the chest/deltoid area.
5. Raise them along the same arc back to the starting position.
6. Pause briefly and repeat the entire movement.
*Side Note* Pretend your hugging a tree.
This exercise can also be done on both an incline and decline bench, with the upper inner chest area being works on the incline, and the lower inner chest area being works on the decline.
