Band Close-Grip Pulldown
Seated on a box with the band anchored high in front, pull the ends to the chest with the hands close together; the narrow grip keeps the elbows traveling along the body.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a box facing the anchor, both ends held close together, arms long toward it.
Steps
- Pull the hands to the chest, elbows tight to the body.
- Squeeze the lats and blades at the chest.
- Return slowly until the arms are long.
Common mistakes
Hands drifting apart: keep them close all the way. Torso rocking back: sit tall and still. Shoulders rolling forward at the finish: chest up, blades down.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale returning.
