How to Do Standing Speed Band Press With Single Arm
The standing speed band press with a single arm should begin with a good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the standing speed band press with a single arm.
Beginning
Beginning Band Press Exercise
Pick up one dumbbell and bring it in towards your center with your elbows bent. You can either hold the dumbbell horizontally with a hand on each end or vertically by gripping one end with both hands, depending on your fitness goals. Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, keep the dumbbell centered.
Movement
Band Press Exercise Movement
1. Start off standing tall with your back straight, shoulders back, and chest out.
2. Stand at a staggered stance so that one foot is in front of the other. Your feet should be about two feet apart with a gap of about six inches between the heel and toe and opposing heel.
3. Each hand will be holding the handle of the bungee so that the bungee is behind you with resistance on it.
4. Your arms will both form 90 degree angles and will be out to your sides, at shoulder width.
5. Your palms will be facing the ground and your knuckles will be facing forwards.
6. From here you are going to be pressing forward with just one arm. Start off with your right arm and press it forward so that it is straight in front of you. Once you can't reach your right arm anymore in front of you, bring it back to the starting position and repeat.
7. Start the exercise in a slow and controlled movement and build up speed as you get better.
