Step by step
- Anchor a band overhead and grip the handle or both ends with arms reaching straight up above your head.
- Step back until the band has tension at full overhead extension and stand tall with feet shoulder-width.
- Keep a slight bend in your elbows and pull your arms down in a wide arc to your hips.
- Squeeze your lats hard at the bottom, feeling the contraction across the sides of your back.
- Slowly return your arms overhead with control over 2 to 3 seconds, fighting the band the whole way up.
- Repeat for 12 to 15 reps, focusing on the lat stretch at the top and the squeeze at the bottom.
