How to: Band straight back standing row

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band with both hands.
  2. Pull the band back towards your torso while keeping your elbows close to your sides.
  3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and pause for a moment.
  4. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes

  • Using too much momentum to pull the band.
  • Flaring elbows out too wide instead of keeping them close to the body.
  • Not maintaining a stable core during the movement.

Modifications

  • Use lighter resistance bands to reduce strain.
  • Perform the exercise seated for added support.

Tips

  • Keep your back straight and avoid rounding your shoulders.
  • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together as you pull.
  • Maintain a neutral wrist position to prevent strain.
