HOW TO DO BAND PULL-APART

  1. Hold a light resistance band in front of your chest with straight but unlocked elbows and hands slightly wider than shoulder-width.
  2. Stand tall with your ribs over your pelvis.
  3. Pull the band apart until your arms form a line across the body, allowing the shoulder blades to move toward each other without shrugging.
  4. Adjust hand spacing or choose a lighter band if you must arch your back or bend the elbows.
