Bench Press - With Bands
The Bench Press - With Bands is a strength movement that targets your chest. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Bench Press - With Bands
- Anchor the bands securely under the bench legs or rack pegs before loading the bar.
- Set up with the same tight back, retracted scapulae, and flat feet as a standard bench press.
- Resist the bands actively on the way down — they will pull the bar toward the floor.
- Drive hard through lockout; band tension increases as you approach the top.
