Band Underhand Pulldown

Seated on a box with a band anchored high in front, pull the ends to the chest palms up; the band's angle makes it part pulldown, part row.

How to do it

Setup

Seated tall on a box facing the anchor, the band's ends taken underhand, arms long toward it.

Steps

Pull the ends down to the lower chest, elbows along the ribs.
Squeeze the blades with the palms still facing up.
Let the band draw the arms long again, slowly.

Common mistakes

Rocking back to stretch the band: sit tall and keep the torso still. Wrists curling in: palms up, forearms in line. Band snapping back: resist it all the way.

Breathing

Exhale on the pull, inhale on the return.
