Instructions

1. Secure a resistance band at about head height to a stable anchor point.

2. Come into a half-kneeling position with the knee closest to the anchor point on the floor and the opposite foot flat on the ground in front of you. This stance provides stability and helps isolate the upper body.

3. Face the anchor point and grab the resistance band with both hands, palms facing down. Your arms should be fully extended at shoulder height.

4. Begin by pulling the band towards your face while keeping your elbows up and out to the sides.

5. As you pull, rotate your hands so that your palms face you when the band reaches your face. Your upper arms should be parallel to the floor in the end position.

6. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you pull, engaging the muscles between your shoulder blades.

7. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control and keeping tension on the band.

8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

9. Perform all reps on one side before switching the kneeling position and completing the set on the other side to maintain muscular balance.
