  • Lying on a bench, hold the bands over the chest, arms straight, hands placed slightly outside of shoulder width.
  • Keep your chest up at all time, and allow the lower back to maintain a natural arch (not excessive).
  • Lower the bands to the top of the chest.
  • Press the bands back up to the top, until your arms are straight.

ProTip

Mistakes

  • Not keeping the chest up
