ByMike Collins

Achieve superhero strength with the Single-Arm Half Kneeling Band Press. This exercise demands determination, grit and courage – but if you master it, there's no limit to your feats of power! Use resistance bands or weights for this move that targets chest, deltoids and triceps. The unique angle emphasizes stabilizing muscles in shoulders and arms while engaging core stabilizers. With consistent training comes improved mobility, enhanced muscle tone/definition and reduced fatigue – a perfect combo for any hero! So don your cape, grab a band and get ready to power up like Marvel's mightiest. Persevere with dedication and focus; soon even Zeus will be envious of you!

Exercise Instructions

  1. Position yourself in the classic superhero pose – knees bent and bottom shoulder blade back, as if you were ready to take flight. Keep your ribs down, abs tight and tailbone tucked between your knees like a samurai guarding his castle.
  2. Take the band in your hand and with a mighty thrust, press it forward as if you were firing an arrow from your bow! Finish with your shoulder blade spread outward and make sure to get your hand as far forward as possible – no lollygagging!
  3. Don't let any villainous back arching or loss of hip and knee position ruin your heroic efforts. Return by pulling your shoulder blade inward, as if you were drawing a sword from its sheath, and bringing your hand back home.

The Single-Arm Half-Kneeling Band Press is like a knight defending his castle against an onslaught of invading forces. You must position your body in the perfect stance, with both knees at 90 degrees and your trailing hip fully extended. Your abs and tailbone should be tucked firmly between your knees, creating a solid wall of defense that won't waver no matter what comes its way. As you press forward with the band, it's as if you are raising a drawbridge to protect yourself from attack – extending outward and pressing forward with all the strength you can muster. When returning to starting position, think of it as lowering the bridge back down again, pulling inward and downward until you're ready for another wave of enemies.
