How to do it

Setup

Stand on the band, ends in the hands in front of the thighs.

Steps

  1. Raise straight arms to eye level.
  2. Pause against the band's peak.
  3. Lower under control.

Common mistakes

Leaning back: the band tempts it; ribs down. Elbows bending: long arms. Snap-back negatives: resist all the way.

Breathing

Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
