Band Standing Incline Chest Press
The standing band chest press from a low anchor, the hands driving up and forward above the head; the upward path loads the upper chest.
How to do it
Setup
Back to a low anchor, split stance, the band's ends at the upper chest, elbows below the shoulders.
Steps
- Press both hands up and forward until the arms are straight above head height.
- Keep the ribs down so the back does not arch.
- Return the hands to the upper chest under control.
Common mistakes
Arching back to lift the hands higher: ribs down, glutes tight. Shrugging at the top: shoulders stay down away from the ears. Standing so close the band goes slack at the chest: step forward until it pulls from the start.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
