STANDING CHEST PRESS

Preparation
Attach a pair of resistance bands to a door anchor and place the door anchor at a position slightly higher than back of shoulders. Attach handles to the other ends of the resistance bands. Stand facing away from the door. Grab the handles and position them to sides of chest with elbows held highout to sides. Forearms should be horizontal. Take one pace forward in a lunging posture (one leg bent in front and other straight behind). Lean into resistance.

Execution
Push the handles forward until arms are extended and parallel to one another. Return to the original position until slight stretch is felt in chest orshou lders. Repeat.

Comment
Handles should follow slight arch pattern as hands travel closer together toward extension.
