How to Train With Chest Expanders

Chest Expander One Arm Press
With the release of our latest product about this time yesterday,the interest and questions start to flood the 'ol email box. The most popular question we have been getting is:

"How do I train with Chest Expanders?"

And its a good question, of course there is no single "answer" since chest expanders offer so many different movements and variations. - but this also means you will never run out of training ideas either which is a good thing.

Today I am going to tell you two of the ways I train and have trained with chest expanders.

1. The first technique is "Die Kette" (aka The Chain.) which I mentioned on the Chest expander page. This type of workout involves using progressively heavier or lighter chest expanders.

Simply start at one end of the spectrum, perform the specific on to the next level.

For best results, youll need a full set as it saves time to just grab the next level and get training, instead of having to change the cables etc.

2. The second technique is to take specific exercises and "plug them in to your workout" as needed. I have three favorite exercises with chest expanders:

The "Back Press Out" which I call a tricep press because there is no better tricep developer in my opinion and this movement can be done with any other equipment, -- not barbells, not dumbbells, not kettlebells, only chest expander.

The Front Chest Pull - which you can see me demonstrating on the Chest Expander page right here: Chest Expanders

The Pullover, which along with the front chest pull, makes Chest Expanders really live up to their name.

Youll need expanders on the lighter side for the Front Chest Pull and Pullover, but for the Back Press Out," you will work up to very "heavy" resistance levels very quickly.

There are many couple other useful exercises as well, these are just some of my favorites, perhaps I will go into some of them at a later date.

Train hard,

P.S. The exercises I mentioned above are also demonstrated in Joe Bonomos Strongman cable course which comes complimentary with every order of a complete set of chest expanders. Grab a set for yourself here: Chest Expanders
