Stand on the band, hinge your hips back, and hold the handles with your torso inclined forward.

STEP 2

Maintain your torso angle and draw both elbows back to bring the handles toward your sides.

STEP 3

End phase

Briefly squeeze your back at the end of the pull, then return by slowly extending your arms.

STEP 4

Target muscles

This movement primarily works your lats, trapezius. Focus on controlling the motion through these muscles.
