3. Press your palm firmly into the wall, engaging your chest, shoulder, and arm muscles.
4. Slowly push against the wall, straightening your arm as much as possible without locking your elbow.
5. Hold the position for a few seconds, feeling the muscles in your arm and chest working.
6. Slowly release the tension and bring your arm back to the starting position.
