How to perform

Anchor a resistance band overhead, then kneel and grasp the handles with palms facing forward, creating tension. Engage your core and glutes, retract your shoulders, and pull the band downwards towards your upper chest. Slowly release to the starting position, ensuring full arm extension and avoiding shoulder protraction.

Muscles Worked

Latissimus Dorsi
Secondary: Biceps, Rhomboids, Traps, Infraspinatus

Tips

Utilize a complete range of motion during each repetition to fully activate your lats. Select a band offering consistent resistance throughout the movement. Maintain an upright posture; a slight lean is acceptable, but avoid a rowing motion. Keep your elbows close to your body to focus on lat engagement, minimizing shoulder involvement.
