Resistance Band Push-Up
The resistance band push-up adds accommodating resistance to the classic push-up, making the lockout portion harder. This builds explosive pressing power and improves top-end chest strength.
How to Perform
Loop the band across your upper back and hold each end under your palms.
Set up in a standard push-up position with hands just outside shoulder width.
Lower your chest to the floor with elbows at 45 degrees, keeping the band taut.
Press up explosively against the increasing band tension and fully lock out.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using a band that is too heavy, which forces you to cut range of motion short at the bottom.
Letting your hips sag to compensate for the extra resistance at the top.
Placing the band too low on the back, causing it to slide during the set.
