How to perform Band Chest Press with proper form

Equipment Needed

• Resistance band (preferably one with handles)
• Anchor point (door anchor or secure pole)

Setup

1. Anchor the Band: Attach the band to a secure anchor at chest height.
2. Position Yourself: Stand facing away from the anchor point, holding the handles with both hands.

Execution

1. Grip: Hold the band handles with palms facing down and elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
2. Stance: Position your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
3. Engage Core: Tighten your core to maintain balance throughout the movement.
4. Press: Push the band forward by extending your arms until they are fully extended. Keep the elbows slightly bent at the end position.
5. Control Return: Slowly bring your hands back to the starting position, maintaining control of the band.

Tips

• Keep your shoulders down and back throughout the movement.
• Avoid arching your back; maintain a neutral spine.
• Adjust band tension by moving closer or farther from the anchor point as needed.

Breathing

• Inhale as you return to the starting position. Exhale while pressing forward.
