Here's how to do the stability ball chest press:
Roll yourself back on a stability ball so that you are in a bridge position. Your upper back will be resting against the ball and you want to relax (not strain) your neck. Try to make your torso as flat as possible, parallel to the floor, and hold your knees in a 90 degree angle.
Grab your desired weight size (you may need a spotter if you are going really heavy) and hold a weight in each arm in the down (90 degree) position.
Using your chest muscles, push your arms straight up for one rep. Bring your arms back down, being careful not to lower your elbows beyond the 90 degree position. Repeat until your set is complete.
Modifications:
To make this easier, lie on a bench rather than using a stability ball. As always, increasing your weight will increase the level of difficulty.
