Suspension Trainer Chest Press

Video coming soon...

The suspension trainer chest press is a workout that primarily targets the chest and triceps.

Using the suspension trainer engages the chest and triceps while also activating secondary muscles for stability.

Adjust the suspension trainer straps to chest height.
Stand facing away from the anchor point, holding the handles with an overhand grip.
Step forward to create tension in the straps, keeping your body straight and core engaged.
Bend your elbows and lower your chest towards the handles, maintaining control.
Push through your palms and extend your arms, returning to the starting position.

Start with the right setup: Adjust the suspension trainer handles to chest height, ensuring they’re secure and stable.
Engage your core: Brace your abs and keep your body in a straight line from head to toe throughout the exercise.
Squeeze your chest: Focus on pushing your hands together forcefully during the press, emphasizing the contraction in your chest muscles.
Mind your triceps: Keep your elbows close to your sides and avoid flaring them out to maximize tricep activation.
Control the movement: Lower yourself slowly and with control, feeling the stretch in your chest and triceps, then press back up explosively.
Vary the angles: Experiment with different angles by adjusting your body position to target different areas of your chest and triceps.
Progress gradually: Increase the difficulty by adjusting the angle of your body or adding resistance as you get stronger and more comfortable with the exercise.
