Instructions
1. Secure the resistance band at chest level to a stable anchor point, like the frame of a squat rack.
2. Stand facing away from the anchor point, feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
3. Hold the ends of the band with a grip that allows your hands to be just outside your chest.
4. Keep your elbows bent and in line with your shoulders.
5. Engage your core and keep a slight bend in your knees to create a stable base.
6. Press your arms straight out in front of your chest, fully extending your arms while keeping the wrists stable.
7. Slowly return to the starting position with control, maintaining constant tension on the band.
8. Complete the desired number of reps and sets, ensuring to maintain good form throughout.
Make sure to breathe out on the exertion or pressing phase and inhale on the return phase. Adjust the resistance of the band as necessary to fit your strength level: step further away from the anchor point to increase tension or reduce the distance for less. Always perform each movement in a slow and controlled manner, focusing on the muscle contraction and maintaining proper form.
