The resistance band row is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles of the upper back, including the rhomboids, rear deltoids, and middle trapezius. It is an effective exercise for improving upper body strength, posture, and stability. The resistance band row is a great alternative to traditional rowing exercises using free weights or machines, as it provides constant tension throughout the movement.
First, attach the band around something that won’t move or break. And grab it in one hand. Be sure to attach it at below waist 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 up and into the side of your body whilst the hand remains pointing forward. Then return the arm back 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 are able to 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.
