CHEST PUFF
●●●
The chest expands, the shoulders pull back, and the upper body takes up more space.
MEANS
Confidence, dominance display, or preparation for confrontation.
CONTEXT
Common in athletes, executives, and people asserting territory. A natural posture in genuinely confident people; a performed one in those projecting confidence they do not feel. Watch for it appearing right after a challenge.
NOT
A deliberate stretch.
