How to: Band upright row
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band with both hands.
- Grip the band at a comfortable width, palms facing you.
- With a straight back, pull the band upwards towards your chin, leading with the elbows.
- Hold for a moment at the top before slowly lowering back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Lifting the elbows too high, which can strain the shoulders.
- Leaning excessively forward or back during the exercise.
- Not fully extending the arms during the downward phase.
Modifications
- Perform with lighter resistance bands.
- Use a seated position to support lower back.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and core engaged during the exercise.
- Avoid using momentum; control the motion throughout.
- Ensure the band is securely anchored to avoid slippage.
