Step by Step

This exercise works your Pecs, Anterior Deltoid and Triceps
Like any exercise this should be pain free or shouldn’t increase existing pain levels, during, after and the next day.
It is normal to feel some delayed onset muscle soreness between 48-72 hours but this should be manageable
Place your hands on the floor, slightly outside shoulder width apart.
Spread your fingers slightly out and have them pointed up in the direction of your head.
Raise up onto your toes so that all of your body weight is on your hands and your feet.
Engage your abdominals to keep your back straight line and then flexor your hips as to point your bottom in the air. This will put your arms in a more overhead position
Next, bend your elbows and lower your head down towards the floor.
Once your head is close to the floor, then reverse direction by pushing off the floor to straighten your elbows and return to starting position.
For strengthening you should perform 6-10 reps to fatigue
You should perform 3-5 sets with 3 minutes rests
This session can be done 2-3 times per week
For endurance you should perform 15-25 reps to fatigue
You should perform 3-5 sets with no more than 30 second rests
This session can be done 2-3 times per week
