Resistance Band Assisted Push-Up

4 steps Updated 29/08/2026

Resistance Band Assisted Push-Up is a bodyweight exercise targeting Chest (Pectoralis Major).

Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Secure two loop elastic bands on a straight bar, ensuring they are securely anchored. Position each band over your shoulders.
  2. Set yourself in a plank position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together. The resistance bands should provide support as you perform the push-ups.
  3. Engage your core and lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them at a 45-degree angle to your body. Allow the resistance bands to assist you as you descend.
  4. Push through your hands to raise your body back to the starting position, fully extending your arms. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
