How to perform

Secure a resistance band to a high anchor. Face the anchor, feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the band with palms forward, arms extended overhead. Engage your core, maintain a straight back. Pull the band down behind your neck, bending elbows and squeezing shoulder blades. Pause, feeling back muscle tension. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips

Engage your core for stability. Maintain a neutral spine; avoid arching. Squeeze shoulder blades during pull. Control movements; avoid jerking. Start with lighter resistance to perfect form. Exhale on pull, inhale on return.
