Band Standing Alternate Chest Press
The standing band chest press done one arm at a time, the other hand waiting at the chest; the torso must not turn with each press.
How to do it
Setup
Back to an anchor at chest height, split stance, the band's ends at the sides of the chest.
Steps
- Press one hand straight forward until the arm is straight.
- Return it to the chest before the other hand starts.
- Keep the chest facing forward the whole set.
Common mistakes
Shoulders rotating with every press: brace the trunk; only the arm moves. Rushing the handover: finish one press before the next starts. Stance too short for the band's pull: lengthen the split.
Breathing
Exhale on each press, inhale returning.
