Band Bench Press

This band-based version of the bench press provides resistance throughout the entire range of motion, especially at the top. It’s a great tool for training at home or adding variety to a strength routine.

Instructions

1. Anchor a resistance band under the head side of a flat bench.
2. Lie back and grab the band handles with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Press the handles straight up above your chest until your arms are fully extended.
4. Slowly lower the handles until your elbows form a 90-degree angle.
5. Push the bands upward again, squeezing your chest at the top.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
