"The next thing you’re going to do is a seated chest press. You can do this without any weights at all or you can grab weights between 1 and 3 pounds. Without any weights at all, your arms are going to come out to the side, closing those fists. Make sure that your shoulders and elbows are in one line and then make sure that your elbows and wrists are in one line. Abs are tight, you’re going to close those arms and open. Close, good, and open. Exhale as you close, inhale open. Exhale close, inhale open. Very good. If this is not challenging enough for you, you can grab your hand weights and do the same thing. Loose grip on the weights and exhale close, inhale open. Perfect, only moving those arms, you don’t want to open those arms up past your shoulders then you would be hyperextending. We’re going to try to get 15 of these. Exhale close, inhale open. "

on 8/2/2008 This exercise is a seated fly not a chest press. By adding weight in this position it becomes more of a shoulder exercise than a chest exercises.
