Resistance Band Chest Fly
The resistance band chest fly uses elastic resistance to isolate the chest with increasing tension at peak contraction. It is an accessible chest exercise that can be done anywhere with a band and an anchor point.
How to Perform
Anchor the band at chest height behind you and hold one end in each hand.
Step forward until you feel tension with arms extended out to your sides, elbows slightly bent.
Bring your hands together in front of your chest in a wide arc motion.
Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the band tension on the way back.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using a band with too little resistance, which provides no meaningful chest tension.
Letting the band snap your arms back instead of controlling the eccentric phase.
Bending the elbows too much, which turns the fly into a pressing movement.
