Resistance Band Standing Single-Arm Lateral Shoulder Extension
A straight arm pulled back from in front of the thigh to past the hip against a looped band anchored in front; the shoulder extends against the band.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, facing an anchor at hip height, a flat looped band in one hand, the arm straight and angled forward.
Steps
- Pull the straight arm down and back until the hand passes the hip.
- Squeeze the back of the shoulder for a beat.
- Let the arm return forward slowly; switch arms after the set.
Common mistakes
Bending the elbow to pull: the arm stays straight; the shoulder moves it. Leaning forward as the hand goes back: trunk upright. Shrugging the working shoulder: blade down.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale returning.
