Very interesting!! I had shoulder surgery a few months back and the dr recommended more band training and no gravity chest presses. My shoulder is still recovering and I'm learning how to use bands safely for pectoral growth. Currently, the band presses via armpit placement is still uncomfortable but its not uncomfortable when they are on the outside of my shoulders. This video helped explain why and gives me a road map. Thank you for these tips!!💪💪💪
I had this issue with resistance bands when I tried out banded chest presses years ago. I felt it was odd that I wasn't getting the same stimulation compared to using a cable machine with LESS resistance than the band. So I ended up concluding that bands were not as great for chest presses. After watching your video and trying this again, I've noticed a HUGE difference with chest activation and overall movement. There's a much better contraction and the tension on the band is kept consistent throughout!
Thank you for this!!! I was wondering why my chest wasn’t getting sore from my workouts. This was just the correction I needed, cant wait till my next workout. Got right to the point and gave the information. Great video. Thank you!!!
Did 10 with my heaviest band and boy did bringing it in make a difference. Another downside to having outside is that some of the tension you're trying to apply straight outward is also lost being pressed into your biceps/forearms. I loop it around my back and definitely think when outside it can prematurely fatigue your arms by changing the angle and area of tension. It essentially forces you to have to push out like any press normally would, but is also pulling your arms laterally into each other which can fatigue your shoulders pretty easily
2:33 In any case it is better to mix both (inside and outside) : we exercise different parts. It is always good to change the angle etc... not repeating the same exercices
Yes there is a fine line to walk. You want to repeat exercises so you adapt and get better at them but you also eventually want to adjust and tweak to work the muscle differently and then also you want to swap out exercises to give your body new challenges and then eventually you'll want to revisit exercises to see if you've maintained.
Thanks for the great advice. I have always done these presses on the outside, but I am going to transition to your way the next time I do this. Your videos are impressive, and you do an outstanding job explaining and demonstrating the movements!
Great tip. I was doing one-arm chest press with the band anchored behind me, but coming over top of my arm, and I was getting too much shoulder activation and not enough chest. I have shoulder mobility issues and that was probably affecting it too. Running the band under my arm gives me greater chest activation and also makes the rotator cuff feel good. I also just started trying out your dowel workout ideas and really like them, too. Subscribed! :D
I highly recommend using resistance bands with handles. Seriously from a dude that knows what he's talking about, use the ones with handles. It's much more comfortable for your hand to start.
I work calves mainly with agility training like in these videos resistancebandtraining.com/figure-8-tabata-cone-workout-2019-2009/ Checkout my 101 band exercises for more leg exercises resistancebandtraining.com/101exercises/

You're welcome.
Im going to try this..i had my shoulder replaced and it hurts when i do these with the band outside. Thanx for the tip

You're welcome
Best explanation I have ever seen. Thank you
Thanks.
I was doing the press outside my arm since day one. Thx for the advice.
You're welcome.
Don't tell James Grage how to perform the chest press!! 😆 Just joking!!
I did the chest press this way, and I felt my chest work much harder!!
Your instruction videos are the BEST Dave! Thanks
You're welcome.
How good are the bands? Do they snap a few months after you work with them?

Thanks for the tip Dave. Feels good to know I have been using my bands correctly all along. :D
Awesome.

Great tips, Dave. Thank you.

Super tip will definitely change my present outside method. TY

Awesome tip! Thanks
You're welcome.
Good video bro..That's exactly the same way I do chest press with bands. Under arm
Right on
Thanks, I’ll try that.
Awesome.
Sir plz put a video on leg exercises and calves too as i have ordered resistance bands thank you.
I work calves mainly with agility training like in these videos resistancebandtraining.com/figure-8-tabata-cone-workout-2019-2009/

Great video Dave👍🏻
Thanks.
Do you like to incorporate a pipe or bar to do the chest press??
Either or neither. I change things up a lot
what about foot positioning?
Wahoo I wich I knew that long time ago, my right rotator cuff hurt like crazy!
Agreed! Knowing about band training earlier could have saved myself a few injuries.
Since I've been doing this both my shoulders hurt. Would handles help?
It's possible. Check out my playlist on shoulders there are lots of ideas there about shoulder injury and recovery.
Do you have a illustration of doing a one arm incline press?
About 2:30 into this video there is an example. instagram.com/tv/CK1ORianVkd/
how can I work on my rotator cuff to stabilise the scapular without doing them in push up position as my abs( separation) cannot handle the load
Isometric Band horizontal chest presses. Isometric incline push up holds with a band
Elliott Hulse sent me here.
Awesome. Please say thank you to EH
I thought he retired
Not yet my friend.
