Instructions
Attach a resistance band to a low, stable point, or stand on the band to anchor it under your feet if you're not using a base point.
Position an incline bench in front of the anchor point, facing away from it, with the top end of the bench closest to the band.
Lay face down on the incline bench, with your chest supported and your feet flat on the ground for stability.
Hold the bands with both hands, palms facing in, your arms extended and hands positioned below shoulder height.
Keeping your arms straight, raise them in a 'Y' shape above your head, maintaining tension on the band throughout the movement.
Slowly lower your hands back to the starting position, maintaining control and not letting the band snap back.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, keeping your movements smooth and controlled, and focusing on isolating the shoulder muscles.
