Kneeling Bench Chest Stretch (Bodyweight)

Also known as: Kneeling Bench Chest Stretch (Bodyweight).

A kneeling chest and lat stretch with the hands on a bench.

How to perform this exercise

1. Kneel facing a stable bench or low box and place both palms on its top with arms long. Keep the knees beneath the hips, shins supported and spine comfortable as the torso leans toward the support.
2. Ease the chest downward between the arms until a mild shoulder/chest stretch is felt. Keep the elbows long and avoid forcing the low back or neck; hold briefly and rise gently to the entry pose.
