  3. Bend your elbows and lower the gymstick towards your chest while maintaining control.
  4. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, feeling the stretch in your chest muscles.

  6. Exhale as you push the gymstick away, focusing on contracting your chest muscles.

Gymstick Chest Press Low Tips

  1. Position yourself on a flat bench, feet firmly planted on the ground, and hold the gymstick with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart. This grip width will help you target your chest muscles effectively.
  2. Engage your core muscles by drawing your navel towards your spine, maintaining a stable and strong base throughout the exercise. This will not only protect your lower back but also enhance the activation of your chest muscles.
  3. As you lower the gymstick towards your chest, focus on keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body. This angle optimizes chest muscle engagement and minimizes strain on your shoulders.
  4. Exhale as you push the gymstick away from your chest, fully extending your arms. Visualize pushing through the resistance, feeling your chest muscles contract and work hard to move the gymstick. This mind-muscle connection is crucial for maximizing your chest activation.
  5. To challenge your chest muscles further, try slowing down the tempo of the exercise. Take a full 2-3 seconds to lower the gymstick towards your chest, and then another 2-3 seconds to push it away. This controlled movement will intensify the muscle engagement and help you build strength and endurance in your chest.
