If you can't go to the gym and want to use resistance bands to strengthen your muscles, you must continue to look down.
Today IFAST will introduce 9 exercises of resistance band chest training. As long as the method is correct, the resistance band can become a sharp tool to increase muscle!
Action 1: Banded saws
Target: medial pectoral muscle
Fix the resistance band at the chest height, hold the resistance band in one hand, drive with the elbow, and extend the arm to the other side of the body.
After fully squeezing the chest muscle into place, restore it.
Action 2: Crossover pushups
Target: medial pectoral muscle
Hold the resistance band with one hand, first complete a push up, and then the hand holding the resistance band crosses the body laterally.
Action 3. Fast push ups
Target: middle and lower part of pectoral muscle
Wrap the resistance band around the upper back and grasp it with both hands. First bend the elbow to let the body sink fully, and then stretch the elbow with explosive force to make the body stand up as soon as possible.
Action 4: Banded bench press
Target: middle and lower part of pectoral muscle
Let the resistance band bypass the bench from below and grasp it with both hands, and then you can use its resistance to push.
Also, stretch your elbows quickly, not slowly.
Action 5: Surround push
Target: middle and lower part of pectoral muscle
Tie the resistance band firmly behind your body, hold both sides of the resistance band with both hands, and open your elbows a little outward to simulate the action mode of bench press.
At the peak, gather your hands together to further make your chest muscles contract more in place.
Action 6: Supine straight arm pull up
Target: upper chest
Lie on your back on the floor with one end of the resistance band fixed behind you. Hold the other end with both hands and pull it from the head to the top of the chest.
Note that the backs of your hands should stick together and squeeze each other. This will bring the elbows closer to each other and bring more full contraction to the chest muscles.
Action 7: Crawl and punch
Target: upper chest
Lie prone on the floor, and the resistance belt is fixed on the same plane. Grasp the resistance band with one hand and stretch it in front of your body.
Action 8: Stretch and flex the resistance belt arm
Target: Lower chest
There are two versions of this action. The first version is to wrap the resistance band around the knee to provide some auxiliary force to make it easier to bend and extend the arm. Suitable for novices
The second version is to increase the resistance of arm flexion and extension by bypassing the resistance band around the neck.
Action 9: Cavalier clip chest
Target: lower chest
Fix the resistance band in a lower position and hold it with one hand. Then through the contraction of the pectoral muscle, let the biceps close to the chest.
