How to do a band chest press
- Anchor the band behind you at chest height and hold a handle in each hand, stepping forward to create tension with elbows bent at your sides.
- Position your feet shoulder-width apart with a slight stagger for stability and engage your core.
- Press both handles forward until your arms are fully extended in front of your chest.
- Squeeze your chest at the end of the movement.
- Slowly return the handles to the starting position under control.
Form tips
- Keep your core tight and avoid arching your lower back.
- Control the band on the return rather than letting it snap back.
- Keep wrists straight and elbows slightly below shoulder height.
