Instructions

1. Secure a resistance band at a height above your head on a squat rack or other stable anchor point.

2. Stand facing the anchor point with feet shoulder-width apart, grasping the band with both hands with an overhand grip.

3. Step back until the band has slight tension when your arms are fully extended in front of you.

4. Begin the movement by retracting your shoulder blades and pulling the band towards your face, specifically aiming for your forehead or just above.

5. As you pull, externally rotate your shoulders, ensuring that your elbows move outward and finish higher than your wrists.

6. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and engage the muscles of your upper back at the end of the movement.

7. Slowly return to the starting position with your arms fully extended, controlling the resistance of the band.

8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

It's important to maintain good posture throughout the exercise and avoid using excessive momentum, which can diminish the effectiveness of the exercise on the targeted muscle groups.
