How to Do Resistance Band Row
Form Cues
- 1
Anchor band at chest height, pull elbows straight back
- 2
Squeeze shoulder blades at the end position
- 3
Sit or stand tall with a stable base so the pull comes from the back, not the legs
- 4
Control the return, resisting the band's pull back to the start
Common Mistakes
- ●
Pulling with arms instead of driving elbows back — think elbows, not hands
- ●
Rounding the upper back to reach further — keep the chest up and shoulder blades free to move
- ●
Letting the band yank the arms forward on the return instead of controlling it
Equipment Variations
- ▸
Dumbbell bent over row as weighted alternative
- ▸
Cable seated row as direct substitute
