Doorway pec stretch

How to perform it

Forearms on the door frame at a 90° angle, step forward into a slight lean, pull your shoulder blades together. Opens the pec major on both sides (sternal and clavicular parts) — a classic after bench day. Differs from the chest stretch in working both sides and the fixed angle (90°).
