Band Standing Chest Press
- Beginner
- Home
- Gym
Anchoring a resistance band behind you at chest height and standing in a staggered stance, you press both hands forward until your arms extend, then return with control. The movement trains the chest, front delts and triceps as a standing compound push. Beginners use it for reps at home or in the gym as a lighter alternative to a chest press machine.
