What are the ways to stretch the chest muscles?

Before exercising, many people will pay special attention to muscle stretching, because this method can effectively relax the muscles of the whole body and avoid strain during exercise. Muscle stretching is very important in preventing injuries and recovering from injuries during fitness exercises. Let me introduce it to you below. What are some chest muscle stretches?

First, what are the chest muscle stretches? Shoulder pull-up: mainly stretches the muscles around the shoulder joint. Method: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. Extend your left hand across your body with your elbow slightly bent. Fix your right hand on your left elbow, then bring your left arm toward your body until you feel the muscles in your shoulder tense. Switch sides and repeat the same action. Upper Back: Mainly stretches the muscles of the upper back. How to: Interlace your fingers, palms facing outward, raise your hands to chest height and straighten your arms, locking your elbows and pushing your shoulders forward.

Second, the latissimus dorsi: This stretch works directly on the latissimus dorsi. How to do it: Stand in front of a support that can support your body weight, grab it with both hands and lean back, bending your knees. Push your legs toward the ground and pull your arms back. Pectoralis major: This exercise mainly stretches the muscles on the upper edge of the chest, which can relax the muscles and increase flexibility. How to: Stand next to a stable upright support. Place one hand behind the support, keeping your upper arm in line with your shoulder. Slowly push your body forward until you feel a stretch in your chest muscles.

What are the chest muscle stretches? Front thigh (quadriceps): The purpose of this movement is to stretch the quadriceps of the thigh and increase the flexibility of the knee joint. This is a relatively simple stretch that works well after any leg workout. Method: Stand with your back to a bench or a stable support, bend one knee and place it on the support, keep your body upright and head up; slowly bend the knee of the supporting foot, lower your body until the opposite thigh feels stretched; use the calf of the supporting foot to push your body up and return to the starting position. Repeat the stretch with the other leg. Back of the thigh (biceps femoris): This simple stretch stretches all of the muscles in the back of the thigh while relaxing tight muscles and relieving pressure on the lower back. Stretch slowly and avoid jolts when the muscle is fully stretched. How to do it: Lie flat on the ground with your legs straight. Bend your left knee and slowly pull it toward your chest until you feel a stretch in the muscle. Keep the back of your head in contact with the ground. Relax and return to the starting position, then switch sides.
