chest presses
This exercise can be done laying on your back on the floor, a ball or a bench. Keep arms over your chest and as you bend your elbows, pinch your shoulder blades together as you lower your arms towards the ground. Make sure elbows aren't wide at a 90 degree. Click them in so you have smooth movement through your shoulder as you bend and straighten your arms.
row wiht a pause
Hinge at hips and extend arms down. Drive elbows to the sky and pinch the shoulder blades while pausing. Keep abs engaged and knees slightly bent. Use medium-heavy weights for this exercise.
Stand with your knees slightly bend and your abs engaged. Take one arm overhead and straighten your arm all the way before bringing it back down. Repeat this with the other arm. Make sure you can see your weights in your peripheral vision so your arms don't go too far wide. Start with a light weight to make sure it feels good before moving up in weight.
