Form Cues

  1. 1

    Anchor band overhead, sit or kneel, pull elbows down to sides

  2. 2

    Feel the lat stretch at the top

  3. 3

    Keep your torso tall and avoid leaning back to help the pull

  4. 4

    Control the return to the top, resisting the band the whole way up

Common Mistakes

  • ●

    Pulling with biceps instead of lats — think about driving elbows down toward your hips

  • ●

    Leaning back excessively to use body weight instead of the lats

  • ●

    Letting the band snap back up quickly instead of resisting it on the way up

Equipment Variations

  • ▸

    Lat pulldown machine as direct substitute

  • ▸

    Pull up as advanced progression
