Set-up

• Anchor the band securely above your head, such as over a door or a bar.
• Kneel facing the anchor and hold one end in each hand with your arms straight overhead.

How to do it

1. Pull your hands down to your shoulders, driving your elbows towards your sides.
2. Squeeze your back at the bottom.
3. Let your arms rise slowly back up.

Coaching cues

• Keep your chest up and your torso still.
• Think of pulling your elbows into your back pockets.

Common mistakes

• Leaning back to pull with your body weight.
• Shrugging the shoulders at the top.

Safety

• Check the anchor will hold before you put your weight against it.
