How to: Resistance Band Half Kneeling Face Pull
- Begin in a half-kneeling position with the resistance band anchored at eye level.
- Hold the band with both hands and step back until there is tension in the band.
- Keeping your elbows lifted, pull the band towards your face, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Slowly return to the starting position and repeat for desired repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum rather than controlled movement.
- Letting the shoulder blades disengage during the pull.
- Pulling too close to the face instead of straight towards the nose.
Modifications
- Use a lighter resistance band for beginners.
- Perform the exercise seated if kneeling is uncomfortable.
Tips
- Maintain a stable core throughout the movement.
- Ensure the band is anchored securely to avoid slippage.
- Focus on squeezing the shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.
