How to: Band Alternate Lat Pulldown with Twist
- Secure the resistance band overhead to an anchor point.
- Stand or kneel, grab the band with both hands, and pull down while twisting your torso.
- Focus on using your back muscles to pull down the band while keeping your core engaged.
- Return to the starting position slowly and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much momentum instead of controlled movements.
- Neglecting to engage the core during the exercise.
- Allowing the shoulders to rise towards the ears rather than keeping them down and back.
Modifications
- Use a lighter resistance band for a more manageable workout.
- Perform the exercise seated if standing is uncomfortable.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the movement to stabilize your body.
- Ensure the band is anchored securely to avoid it slipping during the exercise.
- Focus on a slow and controlled motion, especially when returning to the starting position.
