Resistance band chest exercises are a great way to tighten, strengthen, and shape the chest muscles. By doing chest exercises using resistance bands you are working out the entire upper body in this resistance band training routine.
There are several ways you can do chest exercises with resistance bands. One way to target the pecs is to do a push-up with resistance bands. In this article we will focus on the resistance band chest press. With a resistance band chest press, the pectoral muscles, triceps, and deltoids are all benefiting from the workout. There is no need for fancy equipment to do this exercise.
If you’re tired of doing chest presses with dumbbells or a barbell then this is a great routine to change it up and shock your muscles into growth. If you find the resistance band chest presses to be too easy, you can always use a band with more tension for added resistance. Here is a video demonstration showing you How To Do A Resistance Band Chest Press with proper form.
For this exercise you will need to anchor the resistance band to an object. In the example we demonstrate in the video, the bands are conveniently attached to a fence.
With this exercise you want to imagine that you are trying to put your arms around a big basket at chest level in front of you. Your arms should make a big circle.
Stand facing away from the resistance band. Hold both handles with the band underneath your arms. Step one foot slightly forward and keep both knees slightly bent.
Start the exercise with your elbows raised to the sides just below shoulder level and your arms bent 90 degrees so that your wrists are directly in front of your elbows.
Complete the exercise by pushing your arms forward and slightly in so that you finish with arms straight in front of you and shoulder width apart. Return to the starting position. Complete 12-15 repetitions.

hi, I’m 15 years old and would like to do some chest exercises with resistance bands. could you suggest some and how to do them?
thanks
The one in the video above is probably the only exercise you can do with resistance bands, yes it will build muscle but quite quickly you’ll need to buy stronger bands. It’s probably a lot easier to do some push ups and change how you do them to make them more difficult
Hi i am 26 years old male from Nepal. my height is 5.3 inch and weight only 50 kg so i want to increase my weight by using resistance bands product. is it possible or not?
The easiest way to increase just your weight is to eat a lot of lean meat and things that are full of protein. If you eat fatty foods you’ll just get a large belly, but protein rich foods will help you fill out all over your body and won’t make you just look chubby
