Turn your body so that the resistance band or cable is pulling from your side, ensuring your feet remain firmly planted and your hips and shoulders are square.
Engage your core and slowly push the band or cable directly out in front of your chest, extending your arms fully but without locking your elbows.
Pause for a moment, keeping your body stable against the pull of the band or cable, then slowly return your hands to your chest.
Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, then switch sides to ensure balanced development.
Pro Tip
Proper Form: As you press the band out in front of you, make sure to keep your arms parallel to the ground and your body in a straight line. Engage your core and maintain good posture throughout the exercise. Common mistake: Leaning or twisting towards the anchor point. To avoid this, keep your hips and shoulders square and resist the pull of the band. Controlled Movement: The movement should be slow and controlled, both when extending the band and when bringing it back to the chest. This ensures you're really working your core and not relying on momentum.
