Step by step
- Anchor a band at slightly above eye level and grip both ends with your palms facing the floor.
- Step back until the band has tension at full arm extension and stand tall with your feet shoulder-width.
- Pull both hands toward your face, leading with your elbows and keeping them at or above shoulder height.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the pull, feeling the rear delts and mid-back engage.
- Slowly return to the starting position over 2 to 3 seconds, keeping tension on the band the whole time.
- Repeat for 12 to 20 reps, prioritizing a clean squeeze over heavy band tension.
