5 Killer Freehand Exercises To Build A Strong and Massive Chest

#5 Isometric Chest Squeezes

As the name says, the isometric chest squeeze develops the pectoral muscles without any excessive movement. Moreover, the chest squeeze targets the biceps and forearms as well.

Beginners and casual trainers could also perform this exercise, thanks to its simple motion.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet positioned shoulder-width apart. Bring the arms forward such that the upper arms make a 90-degree angle with the lower arms. The palms must be facing each other throughout the duration of the exercise.

Step 2: Touch the palms and contract your chest muscles while exerting force against the hands.

Step 3: Hold the position for 30 seconds and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Change the position of the arms to target different regions of the pectoral muscles.
