How to do it

  1. Begin in a standing position.
  2. Press two lightweight plates together with your hands. Hold the plates together close to your chest to create an isometric contraction in your chest muscles. Your fingers should be pointed forward. This is your starting position.
  3. Squeeze the plates between your palms and extend your arms directly out in front of you in a controlled motion.
  4. Pause at the top of the motion, and then slowly return to the starting position.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Svend Press from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Chest volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
