Among the exercise equipment, there are many common equipment, such as elastic bands, dumbbells, etc. Of course, the training effects of these equipment are good. There are many ways to train the chest, and some of them require the use of elastic bands. So, what are the methods of chest training with elastic bands? Let’s take a look below!
Elastic Band Bench Press
1. Pass an elastic band across a flat bench Below, near the side of your head. After the elastic band is put on, hold the handle on one side with each hand, and then lie flat on the bench.
2. Straighten your arms and pull the elastic band upward, with your hands shoulder-width apart. Once you have the band shoulder-width apart, rotate your wrists forward so your palms are facing away from you. This is your starting move.
3. Slowly lower the handle of the elastic band until your elbow forms a 90-degree bend, and maintain control of the strength throughout the entire movement.
4. Use the power of your chest muscles to raise the handle again, lock your arms, squeeze your chest, pause for a while and then slowly lower it again.
Elastic rope cross-clamping on the chest
Fix the elastic rope at the same height as the shoulders, or higher or lower, which is slightly different for the mid-groove exercise area.
Stand with your feet parallel, the stance is the same width as your hip joints, tighten your waist and abdomen, lean your upper body slightly forward, lift your chest, contract your shoulder blades, hold ropes on both sides of your body with both hands, and bend your arms slightly , palms facing each other, inhale and exhale at the same time, draw an arc towards your chest with your hands, like hugging a big tree, until your hands touch. You can also adjust the fixed position of the elastic cord to exercise the upper and lower parts of the chest muscles. If the resistance used is high, you can change to a lunge stance, which will make you stand more stable.
Elastic rope push-ups
1. Push-ups themselves are a better way to exercise chest muscles, and tension ropes can increase the difficulty of push-ups and enhance the effect of training chest muscles. You can use a figure-8 tension rope on your back, fix the handles on your palms with both hands, and then do push-ups. This is based on proficiency in push-ups.
2. Fix the tension rope on your belt, fix the other end at a higher position, and then start doing push-ups.
