Large Resistance Tube Chest Expander 5 Removable Tubes for Fitness Home Exercise
Home gym workout make easy with this versatile Resistance Tube Chest Expander!
Chest expanders are one of the timeless fitness equipment that has been popular for over a century. It has experienced resurgence in popularity in recent years. Because chest expanders are small, light, cheap and portable, they are an excellent workout tool for home use, or when on the road.
Despite the name, a chest expander can be used to workout virtually every muscle in your body: the back, lats, shoulders, hamstrings, quads, forearms and triceps as well as the chest.
Gone were the old fashion metal springs type expander. This new generation Chest Expander uses TPR or Thermoplastic Rubber Tubes for resistance load. It is much more compact and lighter, and looks more neat and tidy than the old type. You can easily bring it along with you anywhere and do your workout routine anytime.
This Chest Expander also features a sophisticated resistance strength adjustment system. You can easily reduce or increase resistance by taking out or adding back the rubber tubing according to your own requirements, thus take control of your workout strength.
This listing is for a Chest Expander with 5 removable tubes and bigger handles. The maximum internal width of the handle is 14 cm. It is more suitable for male adults with bigger hands.
One of the biggest positives of using chest expanders as part of your workout is the nearly limitless ways they can be used. Because they use bands that stretch and contract, you can achieve resistance at any range of motion. You are essentially limited only by the movements of your arms, whereas with traditional weights you have only a smaller range of movements that can be performed as weights only go downwards direction.
Sample Workout Program:
1 Work the Chest
Grasp each of the handles. Slowly pull the expander apart as far as you can. Once you reach the point where you can't pull it any longer, hold the position for 10 seconds, then release. Perform 10 to 12 repetitions.
2 Work the Back
Grasp each of the handles. Place the expander across your back. Push the expander as far as you can, hold the position for 10 seconds and release. Perform 10 to 12 repetitions.
3 Work the Triceps
Grip the handles behind your back. Extend one arm overhead, and keep the other arm around mid-back level. Hold for five seconds. Perform 10 to 12 repetitions.
4 Work the Lats
Place the expander behind your neck and grab both handles to work your lats. This motion is almost identical to the chest and back expansions. Pull the expander apart as far as you can. Hold the maximum extension for 10 seconds, then return to the starting position. Perform 10 to 12 repetitions.
5 Work the Shoulders
Place the expander at mid-back level. Your palms should be facing outward, and your elbows should be close to your sides. Extend your arms to the sides, almost as if you were punching something next to you. Hold the position 5 seconds. Perform 10 to 12 repetitions.
6 Work the Hamstring
Sit down on the floor and place one of your feet in the middle of the expander for a hamstring exercise. Slowly extend one leg against the resistance of the band, but don't extend fully. Hold the extended position for 5 seconds. Repeat with the other leg. Perform 10 to 12 repetitions.
7 Work the Biceps
Kneel on the floor and place your knees in the middle of the expander to work your biceps. Curl your arms upward, hold for 5 seconds and repeat. Perform 10 to 12 repetitions.
