The Resistance Band Straight Arm Row is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the muscles of the upper back and shoulders. It is an effective movement for strengthening the rear deltoids, rhomboids, and middle trapezius, which are important for overall upper body strength and posture.
This is the Band Straight Arm Pulldown - Alternating.
First, grab one end of a band in one hand, wrap it around something that won’t move or break and grab the other end in the other hand. Be sure to attach it at chest height.
You should position yourself facing toward the anchor point and with your hands straight at shoulder height 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 one of your shoulders back then with a straight arm pull the band back to the side of your body. Then return the arm to their original position. Repeat on the other arm. Once you have done both this is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
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.
