As demonstrated in this video:įull length portrait of muscular shirtless bodybuilder using fitness resistance band. If you can’t find somewhere to attach a resistance band, try standing on it and doing bent over rows. Again, you can change up the resistance by using different width bands or holding the bands closer to their centre. Fully extend your arms before you begin the next rep. Really focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together, like you’re trying to trap a pen between them. Unlock your elbows until your hands touch your chest. Sit in an upright position and your shoulder blades pulled back and down. Begin with your arms fully extended, feet flat on the floor, and knees bent to 90°. Hold each end of the band in separate hands, take a step back and sit on the box. Wrap the resistance band around the anchor at hip height. It’s a different experience and keeps the muscle fibres guessing.įor this exercise, you’ll need a box (or some sort of stool or bench), a resistance band (this Rogue Resistance Band set will cover every possible situation), and an anchor. The difference is that the resistance increases the further you stretch the band. Then, push the dumbbells back towards the ceiling.īanded rows are a credible alternative to the seated cable row.
Create a slight bend in the elbow, bending until your elbows fall in line with your chest. Hold the dumbbells above your chest, with your arms fully extended. Take a dumbbell in each hand and lie on an inclined bench with your feet flat on the floor, and knees bent to 90°. Your set-up here is going to be exactly the same as the incline dumbbell fly. And that’s why dumbbells can help even out any strength differences. In contrast, we move a barbell with both arms working together, meaning force output isn’t always equal. When you use a cable machine, you’ll need to apply equal force output from both arms, just like you would when pressing with a dumbbell. Using dumbbells rather than a generic bar is more relatable to a cable crossover machine. To make this exercise relevant to a cable crossover, we’ve manipulated the angle and equipment typically used to perform the beloved bench press. However, this bench press is a bit different. From here, pull your arms back to the starting position.Įvery gym bros’ favourite exercise, the bench press. Then create a slight bend in the elbow before lowering your arms out to the side until they are parallel to the floor. Since all your weight is supported by the bench, incline dumbbell flyes allow you to move greater loads and further isolate the upper pec. You can change up the resistance by using different width bands or holding the bands closer to their centre.
Slightly unlock your elbows before bringing your hands across your torso. Hold each end of the band in separate hands, take a step forward into a split stance position, then take a slight lean at the hips while keeping your back straight. Once you’ve found your anchor, wrap the resistance band around it at shoulder height. To do this exercise all you need is a resistance band and an anchor, such as the side of a squat rack, or a garden post, anything you can wrap your resistance band around. Advantages of Resistance Bands and DumbbellsĪrguably the closest alternative to a cable crossover is (like the name suggests) the resistance band crossover.
