Band lat pulldown

You need

How to do it

1. Attach an open-ended resistance band with handles above your head. For example, you can use a resistance band door anchor.
2. Grab both handles with palms facing forward and get down on your knees to lengthen the band and create tension.
3. Squeeze your glutes, engage your abs, and bring your shoulders back and down.
4. Take a breath and pull the resistance band down and toward your upper chest.
5. Hold the contraction for a second and release both ends of the band slowly as you exhale. Extend your arms fully but avoid protracting your shoulders near the top.
6. Take another breath and pull both ends of the band.
7. You can also do the single-arm version if your band is light and doesn’t provide much resistance. The only difference is that you would grab both handles with one hand, do your repetitions, then switch and train your other side.
