Svend Press: how to do it and form tips

A standing chest press where you squeeze a plate between your palms and press it forward. Constant inner-chest contraction throughout.

Form tips

1. Hold a plate flat between both palms at chest level.
2. Squeeze your hands together as hard as you can — that's the work.
3. Press forward and back; the squeeze is more important than the load.
