A chest isolation exercise using band resistance anchored at waist level, targeting the chest with an ascending arc motion.

Instructions

  1. Anchor a resistance band at approximately waist height or slightly below.
  2. Stand facing away from the anchor, grasping both band ends with arms at your sides.
  3. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, pull the band upward and across your body in an arc.
  4. Bring your hands toward shoulder height, squeezing your chest muscles.
  5. Return to the starting position with control and repeat.

Tips

  • Maintain a slight elbow bend throughout; this prevents excessive strain on the shoulder joints.
  • The movement should feel natural and controlled; avoid jerky motions.
  • Focus on feeling the chest muscles contract rather than just moving the band.
  • Keep your core engaged and avoid excessive arching of the lower back.
  • Adjust your position relative to the anchor to fine-tune band tension.
  • This exercise is excellent for building chest definition and lower chest muscle engagement.

Recommended starting values

Sensible novice starting points for each goal, for a lifter aged 25–40. Scale down for smaller frames or older lifters. Treat the first set of any session as a discovery set.
