How Kalyra programs it
Trains the push horizontal pattern through chest and arms with a clear rep target and progression path — one of the fundamental movements a balanced plan is built from.
Typically 2–4 sets of 5–10 reps.
Written cues and setup checks remain the instruction alongside available exercise animations.
