This week’s Exercise of the Week is a chest exercise that I mentioned in my blog not too long ago.

Chest Twisters. They are a combination of chest press and flies but with a twist! (see what I did there?)

You can do them with cables or resistance bands like I do in the video. Standing with your back on the bar is necessary so that you are completely stable and are not moving back and forth as your legs try to prevent your body from being pushed backward by your arms.

You may also do them seated, with the back rest all the way up so that your back is pressed to the back rest.

Chest Twisters require you to press the handles forward like a bench press but you start from a wide position and end up in a narrow, fist to fist position in front of you. This shortening of the distance between your hands is what will give you the inner definition. But to really bring out the inner pec muscle fibers, TWIST THEM HANDLES! Really crunch it! Feel it in your chest. But don’t hold your breath. Exhale as you are twisting and crunching them.
