Grow Your Chest

Adding in a thick resistance band to your hammer strength presses will take your chest development to a new level.
Using progressive tension overload the repetition only gets harder as you cross the midway point towards the top of the rep. When doing traditional free weight presses the weight gets dramatically easier as you cross the midway point and move toward the apex of the rep. Remember muscle is build as a result of time under tension. Here I am doing first a hammer strength flat chest press with 1/3 of the weight I would do without the band. I am actually exploding from the bottom of my rep and trying to finish the rep fast, but the band and its progressive tension immediately shuts me down and forces a slower, deeper harder contraction which in turn equals growth 😈😈
The second exercise is an alternating press. I love love love this exercise because the opposite arm is forced into a static contraction while I lower the other side. This creates a muscle stretching pump that is so deep and aggressive within the muscle belly you feel like that creature from movie Alien is about to pop out 🐉
Try it, I guarantee you are instantly hooked!! I put a crew through this the other day at my gym and I’m still getting texts about it!!
