Chest Press (Band)

A compound pushing exercise that targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders using resistance bands, suitable for all fitness levels.

Instructions

1. Anchor a resistance band at chest height to a fixed point behind you.
2. Face away from the anchor and hold one end of the band in each hand at chest level.
3. Start with your hands near your chest and elbows bent.
4. Press your hands forward in a controlled motion, extending your arms until they are nearly straight.
5. Pause briefly at the end of the pressing motion.
6. Slowly return your hands back to your chest, maintaining tension on the band.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

• Maintain an upright posture and engage your core for stability.
• Keep the band taut throughout the entire movement.
• Breathe out as you press forward and breathe in as you return to the starting position.
• Adjust your distance from the anchor point to increase or decrease resistance.
• This exercise can be performed standing or from a staggered stance for added stability.
