Band Lat Pulldown
Muscles worked: Latissimus Dorsi, Teres Major, Trapezius, Rhomboids, Biceps Brachii, Rear Deltoids
Start: Loop a resistance band around a sturdy pole or stable piece of heavy exercise equipment at around waist level when you are standing. Hold the handles in each hand and sit on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat, facing the direction where the band is attached. Straighten your arms in front of your shoulders, palms face down. Scoot forward or back to adjust the band tension: it should be taut when your arms are straight.
Technique Tip: Hold your ribs high away from your lower back and keep your shoulders down away from your ears.
