Band Decline Wide Row – Single Arm

Overview

The resistance band wide row is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the muscles of the upper back, including the rear deltoids, rhomboids, and middle trapezius. It is a variation of the traditional resistance band row but with a wider hand position, which places more emphasis on the muscles of the outer back and shoulders.

Description

This is the Band Decline Wide Row - Single Arm.

First, attach the band around something that won’t move or break. And grab it in one hand. Be sure to attach it at head height.

You should position yourself facing toward the anchor point and with your hand in front of you pointing at the anchor. Make sure you are far enough away that there is no slack in this position.

This is the starting position.

First, pull your shoulder back then bend your elbow and pull it back and up keeping it elevated at shoulder height whilst the hand remains pointing forward Then return the arm to it’s original position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done all the reps on one arm, if required in the program and you can do so, repeat the exercise and the repetitions with the other arm.

If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands D-Ring Aids and a Carabiner to make this exercise as safe as possible.
