Wall Corner Chest Stretch


Step 1 - Stand facing a corner with feet shoulder-width apart

Step 2 - Place both forearms against the walls at shoulder height

Step 3 - Lean forward into the corner until you feel a deep stretch across your chest

Step 4 - Hold position while breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch

Recommended Sets & Time:

  • Beginner: 2 sets of 30-45 seconds, 15 seconds rest

  • Intermediate: 2-3 sets of 45-60 seconds, 10 seconds rest

  • Advanced: 3 sets of 60-90 seconds, 10 seconds rest

What to Focus On:

  • Deep chest opening - You should feel a more intense stretch across your entire chest than pre-workout

  • Muscle recovery - Allow your chest muscles to lengthen and recover from the workout contractions

  • Relaxed breathing - Take slow, deep breaths to help your muscles release tension

  • Progressive deepening - Gently lean further forward as your muscles relax into the stretch

Modifications:

  • Easier: Stand further from the corner or don't lean forward as much

  • Harder: Step closer to the corner or place your hands higher on the walls
