Basically; this exercise is a combination
of "Special Push ups for Pectus Excavatum" (just turned upside down) and sternum lifter 1 and 2, which
can be found on this blog.
When doing this exercise it is very
important to get the right proportions of force so that the sum of all forces
around the sternum = 0. This will give the optimum stretch and lifting effect
of the sternum.
As the picture shows the goal is to activate the pectoralis minor muscles and the core muscles in the opposite direction.
1. Lie down on a leaning bench in
the opposite direction to what is usually done.
2. Just follow the instructions in
the illustration.
All of your exercices are very great, thanks! How Many repetitions would you do?
ReplyDeleteHi, 10 reps 3 sets is a suggestion, a few times a week. One thing which I found very important is to not do exercises to often. The most important thing is to focus on ergonomics.
