How to do it

  1. Anchor a band above head height and hold the free end with both hands.
  2. Stand tall with your elbows tucked at your sides and the band already taut.
  3. Straighten your arms down until your elbows are locked, keeping your upper arms still.
  4. Let your hands rise back to chest height under control.

Coaching cues

  • Step back from the anchor for more tension at the bottom.
  • Keep your ribs down instead of leaning your weight into the band.
