Behind Back Standing Resistance Band Chest Presses
- With a resistance band looped around your upper back, and your hands holding the ends at about chest level, stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart. As always, a slight bend in your knees. This is the starting position
- When ready, with the band secure around your back and shoulders, contract the muscles in your chest and triceps to push your hands straight out away from you
- In a fully extended position, without locking your elbows, lightly tense the muscles in your chest
- Then, slowly release the tension and, in a controller manner, allow your hands to come back towards your chest to reach the starting position
