Gymstick Chest Press High

Video coming soon...

The gymstick chest press high workout is designed to primarily engage the chest muscles.

By using the gymstick, the workout targets the pectoralis major and minor muscles effectively.

The gymstick’s resistance bands provide constant tension, enhancing muscle activation in the chest.

While the workout may involve some activation of auxiliary muscles, its main focus remains on the chest muscles.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the gymstick horizontally in front of your chest with an overhand grip.
Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the exercise.
Extend your arms straight out in front of you, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
Slowly bring the gymstick back towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body.
Pause for a moment when the gymstick is close to your chest.
Push the gymstick away from your chest, extending your arms back out in front of you.
Repeat steps 4 to 6 for the desired number of repetitions.

Position yourself on a flat bench, ensuring your back is firmly pressed against it, and your feet are planted firmly on the ground. This will provide a stable base for your exercise, allowing you to focus on engaging your chest muscles.
Hold the gymstick with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. This grip width will target your chest muscles effectively, while also engaging your triceps and shoulders. Keep your elbows slightly bent and close to your sides throughout the exercise.
As you lower the gymstick towards your chest, focus on maintaining a slow and controlled movement. This will maximize the activation of your chest muscles, as well as enhance your mind-muscle connection. Imagine squeezing your chest muscles together as you bring the gymstick down.
Once the gymstick reaches your chest, pause for a brief moment, feeling the stretch in your chest muscles. This pause will further engage your chest and increase the intensity of the exercise. Remember to keep your core engaged and your back pressed against the bench for stability.
Exhale as you push the gymstick back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms without locking your elbows. Visualize pushing the weight away from your body using your chest muscles. Aim for a smooth and controlled movement, avoiding any jerking or bouncing.
