Bent Over Row | Resistance Band
How to Do:
- Set Up: Stand on the middle of the resistance band with feet hip-width apart. Hold one end of the band in each hand. The band should be taut when your arms are extended in front of you.
- Starting Position: Hinge at your hips to bend your upper body forward, keeping your back flat and your knees slightly bent. Your arms should be extended in front of you, palms facing towards each other.
- Movement: Pull the band handles towards your torso, leading with your elbows. Keep your elbows close to your body as you squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
- Return to Start: Slowly release the tension and extend your arms back to the starting position while maintaining control of the band.
- Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, focusing on engaging your back muscles (lats, traps) throughout the movement.
Benefits:
The Bent Over Row with a resistance band strengthens the upper back, shoulders, and arms, focusing on the lats, rhomboids, and traps. It helps improve posture and stability in the core. The exercise promotes better muscle activation without straining the joints, and the resistance band provides consistent tension throughout the movement for more effective training.
