Resistance Band Squat to Press

Set-up

• Stand on the band with your feet shoulder-width apart, the ends held at your shoulders, palms forward.

How to do it

1. Squat down until your thighs are about parallel to the floor, keeping your chest up.
2. Drive up out of the squat and press the band ends overhead in one movement.
3. Bring your hands back to your shoulders as you squat again.

Coaching cues

• Use the drive from your legs to help the press.
• Keep the band tight throughout the movement.

Common mistakes

• Pausing between the squat and the press.
• Letting the band slip off your feet as you stand.
