Resistance Band Overhead Hit
Standing under a flat band stretched across the top of a rack, one straight arm drives up into it over and over, pressing it up and letting it back.
How to do it
Setup
Standing under a flat band stretched across the top of a rack at arm's reach, one arm straight overhead with the hand under the band.
Steps
- Drive the straight arm up into the band, lifting it a hand's width.
- Let the band push the arm back down a little.
- Keep hitting at a steady pace, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Bending the elbow to punch: the arm stays long; the shoulder lifts it. Leaning back to reach the band: stand under it, ribs down. Shrugging the shoulder into the ear: reach up tall, then let the shoulder settle.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
