m going to show you the best ways to build a bigger chest using just resistance bands and no weights. In times of gym closures and an increase in the number of people doing home chest workouts, having a resource for the best band exercises for chest is going to help you to meet your goals without having to compromise. All of these chest exercises can be done with one to two sets of resistance bands. It is a good idea to have varying resistance levels of them so you can introduce more exercises. The first one shown is called the banded saw. Here the focus of the chest exercise is to get adduction of the arm across midline. You want to be sure you lock your elbow in place at ninety degrees and drive your first across your body. The chest should reach full contraction as you get maximal adduction at the end of every rep. Be sure to work both sides and aim to complete your sets until failure to ensure overload. The next chest exercise with bands is the crossover pushup. This takes a popular home chest exercise and makes it even better due to the inclusion of adduction resistance once again. Holding the resistance band in one hand you will go down into a pushup and then as you come up, reach it across your body stretching out the band and increasing the tension on the chest. Be sure to perform reps with each arm acting against the tension of the band. No list of the best band exercises for chest could be complete without including the banded pushup. Here you simple wrap the band around your back and drive up off the floor against the resistance of it. The key here however is to make sure you-re doing your reps fast. Speed reps and training explosively with bands is one of the best ways to tap into the growth capable type 2 muscle fibers. You can also do this using a standard bench press. Wrap the band underneath the band and press your hands up as if you were using dumbbells but make sure to do so with speed. The standing band press is a great chest exercise using bands. The best way to do it however is to make sure you flare your elbows out so you can introduce resistance into adduction. If the elbows stay tucked to your sides you wind up just pressing the hands straight out with no complete chest contraction. By forcing the bands outward as they wrap around the upper arm, you now get resistance as you cross your hands in front of your chest increasing the effectiveness of the move. The upper chest can also be worked great with bands. The upper chest pullover is a great banded chest exercise that will build the area of the pecs near the collar bone. Make sure to squeeze the backs of the hands together as you bring your arms from a position overhead toward your waistline. The prone punch outs are another amazing way to simulate an incline bench press with bands without needing to have the equipment. You can build a bigger upper chest with bands by using heavy enough resistance bands to perform this amazing exercise. Dips can be performed either assisted or resisted depending on your current strength levels and how you align the bands during the exercise. Finally, the Cavaliere crossover is a great exercise that can help you to really feel that tight chest contraction by resisting the movement of the hands across midline once again.

First, I love your program and training. But with resistance bands, it would be more helpful to show how to use not in the gym were you can anchor the bans to the posts of gym equipment. I am hoping for your show with bands but somewhere that you can use them by only the body weight and not anchored to gym equipment because if you are at the gym you might as well use the state of the arts equipment.

Hi Jeff.
Just a question, I have just come out of surgery after a long head bicep tendon subluxation and removal of 6 peices of cartilage from from right shoulder.
Is band work going to be good for ongoing fitness. I have been told that my lifting days are done due to me now having stage 3 osteoarthritis. By the way I am 45.

Cable chest flies or with power band chest flies no one talks about. what are the breathing and exhale correct way while doing it? Is it like the bench press breath in while lowering and breath out while lifting over the chest? 3 months full body workout, 67 in two months this is the only problem I have with flies. Thanks. sub.

Good afternoon, I really appreciate your band body build series, but I see you only have chest, back, and shoulders. Will you be continuing the series with legs, arms, and maybe some ab band exercises as well? I don't have much room in my apartment, but I have just enough for to move around and use my doors as anchors.

Great exercises here. Interesting that Jeff mentioned a few times, that focusing on speed will increase the benefit of the exercise. For explosiveness, I agree. But I prefer slower reps for strictly building muscle, and increased time under tension.

Thanks a lot for this. I started making Banded Saws and wrap around press. And I feel that how works.
Cavalier crossover is very difficult.
How many reps and series is good to start with this routine? and how many times a week?

Jeff as an older trainer with every weight induced injury from my Arnold & Stallone days.
Coming across your band series is like striking gold. I have named you the Einstein of modern day training.
Thankyou for sharing.

I-m currently in a LTC facility, I-m waiting for hip and knee replacement surgery. I-m literally flat on my back in bed. Can you show me some resistance band exercises I can use from my bed to develop my chest. 68 yrs old

I found that crossing the band at your back stops it sliding off your shoulder like it did with Jeff in this video. Also I bought a couple of soft bicycle hand grips and split them to save my hands.
