How to perform

Securely anchor a resistance band at chest height. Lie on a bench with feet flat, ensuring stability. Grip the band handles, arms bent at chest level. Press arms upward, extending fully, wrists straight. Pause at top, contracting chest muscles. Slowly return, controlling band tension. Repeat.

Tips

Secure band anchor to prevent slippage. Maintain neutral spine. Control movements for maximum muscle engagement. Adjust band tension by varying distance from anchor. Engage core for stability. Exhale on press, inhale on return.
