How to do it
- Anchor a band above head height and hold the free end with both hands.
- Stand tall with your elbows tucked at your sides and the band already taut.
- Straighten your arms down until your elbows are locked, keeping your upper arms still.
- 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.
