Band Chest Press

How to do it

1. Anchor a band behind you at chest height, or run it across your upper back.
2. Hold an end in each hand at chest level, palms down, and step forward to load it.
3. Press both hands forward until your arms are straight, bringing them slightly together.
4. Return under control against the pull.
5. The band is hardest at full extension, so squeeze hard at the front.
