How to: Band Behind Neck Shoulder Press
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the band behind your neck.
- Grip the band with both hands, palms facing forward, and elbows pointed down.
- Engage your core and press upward until your arms are fully extended.
- Slowly lower back to the starting position and repeat.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight which can compromise form.
- Allowing the elbows to drop too low during the press.
- Leaning back instead of keeping a straight posture.
Modifications
- Use a lighter resistance band if you are just starting.
- Perform the press seated if stability is an issue.
Tips
- Ensure the band is securely anchored to avoid slippage.
- Keep your core engaged to stabilize your posture.
- Do not arch your back; maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
