Exhale, raise arms to the sides with a slight elbow bend. Squeeze shoulder blades at the top, pause. Inhale, slowly lower arms back to start, maintaining a straight back.
Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement to maximize rear deltoid engagement and ensure proper form. Keep your back flat and avoid rounding to protect your spine and maintain stability throughout the exercise. Initiate the movement by leading with your elbows, which helps activate the rear deltoids more effectively and prevents shoulder impingement. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your torso and prevent excessive arching or rounding of the back. Control the descent, resisting the band's tension to build strength and maintain a consistent tempo.
