The Band Fixed Back Underhand Pulldown is a resistance band exercise that targets the muscles of the back, specifically the lats. This exercise is great for building strength and muscle definition in the upper back.
How to perform
To perform the Band Fixed Back Underhand Pulldown, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Attach a resistance band to a fixed object at chest height, such as a sturdy pole or anchor point.
2. Stand facing the fixed object and grasp the resistance band with an underhand grip, palms facing up. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart.
3. Take a few steps back to create tension in the band. Your arms should be extended in front of you, with a slight bend in the elbows.
4. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you pull the band down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the bottom of the movement.
5. Slowly return to the starting position, allowing your arms to fully extend without locking out your elbows. This completes one repetition.
6. Perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions, resting for 60-90 seconds between sets.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and maximize the effectiveness of the workout. Make sure to keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid using momentum to complete the movement. Adjust the resistance of the band as needed to challenge yourself and progress over time.
