The Resistance Band Close Grip Chest Press is a variation of the traditional chest press exercise that targets the muscles of the chest, specifically the inner portion of the pectoralis major, as well as the triceps. By using a close grip with the resistance band, this exercise places greater emphasis on the triceps while still engaging the chest muscles.
First, grab one end of a band in one hand, wrap it around something that won’t move or break and grab the other end in the other hand. Be sure to attach it at chest height.
You should position yourself facing away from the anchor point. Also make sure you are far enough away that there is no slack when your elbows are tucked in to your side, pointing backwards and your hands pointing forward.
This is the starting position.
From here extend your hands forward, by extending at the elbows until the arms are fully extended or as far as you can. After this, slowly return the arms back to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands D-Ring Aids and a Carabiner to make this exercise as safe as possible.
